Commission and ECB welcome Parliament’s adoption of Payment Services Directive





In a joint statement the European Commission and the European Central Bank welcomed the Parliaments’ adoption of the Payment Services Directive. The text of the PSD will now be forwarded to the EU Council for final adoption.

The Member States should then transpose the Directive as early as possible, and by 1 November 2009 at the latest, into national law.

The ECB and the European Commission regard the adoption of the PSD by the European Parliament as a decisive step towards the realisation of the SEPA.

ECB and Commission now urge the banking industry and all other stakeholders to maintain momentum and intensify preparation for the launch of the SEPA by 1 January 2008.
