".
EU citizens are interested in fast, affordable payment systems and in the creation of an internal market that is effective and functional when it comes to their making transfers and receiving payments.
We can be fully satisfied with the vote in favour of Mr Gauzès’ report, because, as far as the European Parliament is concerned, this is a piece of work that has been done well and done in everyone’s interests, proving to them that Europe makes their daily lives easier.
We could have obtained this result far quicker, however. We actually finished our work in the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs on 12 September.
In spite of the goodwill of the European Parliament, it has taken the Council seven months to finally convince itself that our proposals are the best for protecting consumers, too.
It was also important to guarantee fair competition between the payment institutions that are created or recognised by this directive and the banks that are subject to strict regulations regarding capital. It is important to maintain the good reputation of the payment services sector by keeping any dubious payments agencies in the background.
The payment execution time set by the Council is more rigorous than the one that we are proposing."@en1
