The options related to BoP reporting are (4) maintain the existing threshold that exempts payment service providers from reporting on payment transactions below EUR 12 500; (5) create a voluntary Additional Optional Service (AOS) Community within SEPA that would allow the collection of statistical data from settlements to continue; (6) encourage voluntary adjustments by the Member States; and (7) address the BoP reporting problems through legislation, with three sub-options: (7a) raise the exemption threshold to EUR 50 000; (7b) abolish settlement-based BoP reporting obligations imposed on payment service providers; and (7c) raise t ...[+++]he exemption threshold to EUR 50 000 followed, in a second phase, by abolition of BoP reporting based on settlements by January 2012.

Balance of payments (BoP) reporting issues were discussed in a number of fora. These included the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics, Eurostat's Balance of Payments Working Group, and a high-level Joint Task Force on the use of Payments Data for the Balance of Payments Statistics, set up by the European Central Bank (September 2007–January 2008).

The drawing-up of Community BOP statistics is also indispensable to obtain a comprehensive BOP for the EU.
