THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 115 in conjunction with Article 218(6)(b) and the second subparagraph of Article 218(8),
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
After consultation of the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Decision (EU) 2015/1994(2), the Amending Protocol to the Agreement between the European Community and the Principality of Liechtenstein providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments (the ‘Amending Protocol’) was signed on 28 October 2015, subject to its conclusion at a later date.
(2) The text of the Amending Protocol, which is the result of negotiations, duly reflects the negotiating directive therefor issued by the Council, as it aligns the Agreement between the European Community and the Principality of Liechtenstein providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments(3) (the ‘Agreement’) with the latest developments at international level concerning the automatic exchange of information, namely, with the global standard for automatic exchange of financial account information in tax matters developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The Union, its Member States and the Principality of Liechtenstein have actively participated in the work of the Global Forum of the OECD for supporting the development and implementation of that standard. The text of the Agreement, as amended by the Amending Protocol, is the legal basis for implementing the global standard in relations between the European Union and the Principality of Liechtenstein.
(3) The Amending Protocol should be approved,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
