ETSC was established within the Commission, attached to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), by Commission Decision 2005/37/EC.\n(2)\nIn 2014, the Commission decided to reorganise its services and to transfer the tasks related to the preparation of legislative and regulatory initiatives of the Commission with the objective of the protection of the euro against counterfeiting, and of support in that area through training and technical assistance from OLAF to the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN). Commission Decision 1999/352/EC, ECSC, Euratom was amended to reflect that change.\n(3)\nSince the adoption of Decision 2005/37/EC, a number of additional legal acts have been adopted which allocate tasks to the ETSC. Thus, the ETSC fulfils obligations under Regulation (EU) No 1210/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulation (EC) No 2182/2004 and Council Regulation (EC) No 2183/2004, and contributes to the fulfilment of the objectives of the ‘Pericles 2020’ programme pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 331/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EU) 2015/768. Those tasks should be added to the tasks expressly mentioned in Decision 2005/37/EC.\n(4)\nCommission Decision 2005/37/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
