3 Governing Council ECB (Eurosystem) Sixth progress report, November 2008 Vision: An euro area in which all payments are domestic, where the current differentiation between national and cross-border payments no longer exists Expected deliverables for the Euro area (EU16): Harmonisation SEPA credit transfer available to customers SEPA direct debit available for customers at the latest from Nov Innovation encouragement to deliver an additional debit card scheme encouragement to deliver e-payments and m-payments encouragement to deliver e-invoicing Implementation NCB s will facilitate implementation process 3

4 Objectives European Commission COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN OMMUNITIES Objectives Payment Services Directive The EU needs to create a single market for payments Benefits for users and providers Enhanced competition by opening markets Encouraging innovation Increased market transparency Ensuring a level playing field Policy Provisions Standardised rights and obligations for providers and users of payment services in the EU, with a strong emphasis on a high level consumer protection Creation of Payment Institutions Transposition on track Transposition in national laws of EU27 (before November 2009) 4

5 European Parliament Resolution 12 March 2009 Emphasises its continued support for the creation of SEPA, which is subject to effective competition and in which there is no distinction between cross-border and national payments in euro; Calls on the Commission to set a clear, appropriate and binding end-date, which should be no later than 31 December 2012, for migrating to SEPA instruments, after which all payments in euro must be made using the SEPA standards; Calls for increased efforts to find appropriate solutions in the Member States to ensure the continued legal validity of existing direct debit mandates in the SEPA Direct Debit scheme; Calls on Member States to encourage their public administrations to use SEPA instruments as soon as possible and to give them a catalytic role in the migration process; Calls on the Commission to ensure that the migration to SEPA instruments will not result in a more expensive payment system for citizens of the Union; 5

6 EPC Declaration 17th March 2005 We will deliver the two new Pan-Euro Payment Schemes for electronic credit transfer and for direct debits. We will also design a Cards Framework to define a single market for cards. The scheme rulebooks and the cards framework definition will be delivered by end 2005, and the services will be operational by January We know from feedback from our community in the eurozone that by the beginning of 2008 the vast majority of banks will offer these new Pan-Euro services to their customers. We are also convinced that a critical mass of transactions will naturally migrate to these payment instruments by 2010 such that SEPA will be irreversible through the operation of market forces and network effects. SEPA will be delivered by the banking industry in close conjunction with all stakeholder communities (consumers, SMEs, merchants, corporates and government bodies) and supportive public authorities. The community of European banks is strongly committed to this ambitious programme of action, based on self-regulation and a full recognition of the role of market forces and competition. 6
