Here I want to express my special thanks to the CSDs, which have shown a constructive attitude despite the fact that they are challenged by this project and that on some topics some tension might remain. Time will help to improve our common understanding, and to achieve mutual recognition of how best to deliver efficient, safe and cheap settlement solutions for Europe.
Let me close my remarks by telling you a little story from China that might be good to keep in mind for future phases of the T2S project: Once upon a time there was a host who offered his guests a pot of wine.
