Annex I.
(6) Committee set up pursuant to Article 25(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1214/2011.
(7) Transport of euro banknotes by air is mostly carried out for stock management in participating Member States, organised between national central banks, or for repatriation of notes from third countries to participating Member States. Transport by sea, not covered by Regulation (EU) No 1214/2011 either, is rare but, depending on geography, may be used for transport of euro coins to a Member State (without own mint) preparing for the euro changeover. Both transport arrangements are excluded from Regulation (EU) No 1214/2011.
(8) All euro area Member States apart from Finland, Greece, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus.
(9) Given specific geographical circumstances, there may be cases where transport transiting another Member State may be more efficient for a CIT company than direct transport via the common borders between the participating Member States. Such an example not covered by Regulation (EU) No 1214/2011 would be transport of euro cash between Germany and Austria via the Czech Republic or between Austria and Slovakia via Hungary.
