(3)With regard to counterfeiting the euro, Council Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001note provides for reporting obligations with respect to the number of confiscated counterfeit notes and coins. The size and trends of the phenomenon of counterfeit notes and coins are well documented and known to the competent national authorities. For that specific area of crime, the obligation to report statistical data on criminal proceedings is therefore not essential to ensuring that the objectives of Directive 2014/62/EU are achieved and monitored.
