* * * Ladies and gentlemen You were invited to this Focus Session today by the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank. As is customary at these sessions, discussions centred around our common objective of improving the security and efficiency of payments and securities settlement operations. A joint task is most certainly what this is, in our opinion.
