Vítor Constâncio: Towards a European Banking Union Lecture by Mr Vítor Constâncio, Vice-President of the European Central Bank, at the start of the academic year of the Duisenberg School of Finance, Amsterdam, 7 September 2012. * 1.
I would like to open the conference with some general observations on developments in the security printing industry in recent years as well some thoughts on the industry's outlook. You won't be surprised that most of my comments will focus on the banknote segment of the industry given my central bank background.
