I voted in favour of the report by Ms Essayah on technical requirements for credit transfers and direct debits, because it is high time that EU rules were also standardised for cross-border payments. We have made considerable progress in the area of uniformity in the EU as far as the free movement of goods and people is concerned, but regarding what is perhaps one of the simplest matters, cross-border payments, things have just got ridiculous. Payment practices in the different Member States have varied enormously, and when bills have been paid from one country to another, people have not always been able to rely on the fact that they have been sent to the right address. Sometimes, recipients have even been unable to locate payments automatically in their account. In future, it will no longer matter in which EU country someone has their bank account: matters will be dealt with in exactly the same way as in that person’s own country. I eagerly expect present bank account transfers to become cheaper, faster and safer for us all. Thank you."@en1
