The banking union is unquestionably the largest European project since the introduction of the euro. We should therefore exercise particular prudence when implementing it. This includes initially conducting a careful and comprehensive review of the state of the European banking system. This inventory has already begun, and it will ensure that all legacy problems are disclosed prior to the introduction of the SSM.
I welcome you to take this opportunity to co-operate together and exchange visions and possible actions to enhance the safety and efficiency of the European post-trading market, in line with the Lisbon agenda and for the benefit of the 500 million citizens in the European Market. I look forward to learn about today’s discussions and I wish you a successful and out bringing Conference.
