Mr President, thanks are due to the rapporteur for an excellent piece of work and for simplifying and explaining so well the payment services provided by SEPA.
Twenty--three million small and medium-sized enterprises will certainly be very happy to be able to save money and at the same time enjoy good new conditions for growth.
However, at the moment, it is causing me some concern. All this requires a good quality IT platform and of course, a high level of reliability and security. But today, the failure of the banking system, in parallel with protests over this legislation, has shown us that major disruption can happen even here.
Therefore, I can only call for more attention to be paid to this area.
