ECB gentog sit synspunkt om, at eftersom betalingssystemer er forbundet med systemer til clearing og afvikling af værdipapirer, er der meget, der taler for, at den nationale centralbank skal overvåge både betalingssystemer og systemer til clearing og afvikling af værdipapirer.
The ECB reiterated its view that, since payment systems are interlinked with securities clearing and settlement systems, there is a strong argument in favour of the NCB performing the oversight of both payment systems and securities clearing and settlement systems.
