2 Notwithstanding paragraph 1, for contingency testing reasons daily reporting of CIS 2 data shall be activated each year in June for a one-month period.

3 Upon activation of the daily reporting requirement pursuant to paragraphs 1 or 2, NCBs shall report on a daily basis to the ECB the CIS 2 data relating to euro banknotes, i.e. the banknote data items specified in Annex VII. Such data shall be available on the third working day following the activation of the daily reporting requirement and shall include data of the second working day following such activation.

4 NCBs shall transmit the data referred to in paragraph 3 by no later than 5 p.m. central European time on the working day following the reporting period.

From October 2012 the data shall be as specified in paragraph 2.

4 NCBs shall use the CIS 2 transmission mechanism to transmit data referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3.

5 Each year, by the sixth working day of October at the latest, NCBs shall transmit the data referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3 in respect of the reporting period from January to June of that year.

6 Each year, by the sixth working day of April at the latest, the NCBs shall transmit the data referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3 in respect of the reporting period from July to December of the previous year.

7 The first transmission of data relating to Decision ECB/2010/14 shall take place as follows: (a) in October 2012 for NCBs of Member States that adopted the euro on or before 1 January 2011; and (b) in October of the year following the year of adoption of the euro for NCBs of Member States that adopted the euro after 1 January 2011.’;
