Why it matters

ECON's 43-14 (1 abstention) vote broke a month-long stalemate over holding limits and offline-privacy design, giving Parliament a mandate to enter trilogue with the Council on the digital euro (COM(2023) 369, 2023/0212(COD)) — part of the single currency package alongside the legal tender and cash-related files.

What to watch

• Formal announcement of the negotiating mandate at the July plenary.
• Whether trilogue narrows or widens the ECON-adopted holding limit and offline-privacy terms.
• Council's own position on the single currency package and points of friction with Parliament.
• ECB and Commission messaging on rollout timing (ECON text points to a roughly 24-month implementation window).

Outcome

ECON Committee adopted its Digital Euro Regulation position 43-14 (1 abstention) on 23 June 2026, capping individual holdings and mandating offline-privacy features, giving Parliament a mandate to open trilogue with the Council.
