ARTICLE 1 European Central Bank Stops Printing 500-Euro Banknote The European Central Bank has announced that it will stop producing the 500-euro banknote. It has become popular among money launderers, drug traffickers and terrorists, who move large amounts of money in small bags or briefcases. The banknotes that are in circulation now can continue to be used, but they will slowly be exchanged for smaller bills. The 500 euro banknote will be phased out completely by 2018. It can be exchanged at national central banks of EU states at any time after this date. Such large banknotes are not so popular in many countries. In the United States, the largest banknote is the $100 bill. After World War II the US stopped producing $500 and $1000 bills. Money experts welcome the decision by the EU's main banking authority. They say that with smaller banknotes criminals will find it more difficult to handle large amounts of money without being noticed. 500-euro banknotes are not used very much in everyday life. While many people are afraid of losing them, some shops
do not even accept them. The 500-euro banknote accounts for 30% of the value of all euro banknotes but only 3% of all paper euros in circulation. The discussion about large banknotes has been going on for a long time. Especially after the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels many experts have called for a ban of large bills because terrorists may use them to pay for their activities. While there are many illegal ways of hiding and transferring money, using cash is among the most popular. 1) Explain the meaning of the following words and phrases: To announce To produce Money laundering To be in circulation To ban 2) Define the following statements as true or false 1.

ARTICLE 2 About the Panama Papers More than 11 million secret documents of a law firm in Panama have been leaked to the German Süddeutsche Zeitung. The documents, nicknamed the Panama Papers, reveal how thousands of politicians, celebrities, athletes and other wealthy people around the world use tax havens to hide their money. 2.6 terabytes of information were secretly given to journalists of the German newspaper last year. They then started investigations, working through the documents with journalists from other countries. The Panama Papers are the biggest leak in journalism in history, much larger than what was published by WikiLeaks some years ago. There are several world leaders who are suspected of being involved in the money scandal, including Russia's Vladimir Putin and Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron, who admitted that he profited from an offshore account set up by his father. A number of Chinese politicians are also supposedly involved in the scandal.
