WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2386/96 by Jens-Peter BONDE to the Commission. Target system  


Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0038 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2386/96 by Jens-Peter Bonde (I-EDN) to the Commission (6 September 1996)Subject: Target systemDo the Treaty provisions prohibiting discrimination also apply to the planned Target settlement system so that no distortions of competition can arise between banks within and without those participating in Economic and Monetary Union?Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission (5 November 1996)The Target (Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer) system is being set up under the auspices of the European Monetary Institute (EMI). It is an essential infrastructure for the smooth operation of the single monetary policy. It is through Target that, by injecting or withdrawing liquidity, the European Central Bank and the national central banks in the euro zone will in practice conduct monetary policy; and it is through Target that the commercial banks, by exploiting the opportunities for arbitrage between financial centres, will equalize short-term interest rates and ultimately ensure the unity of monetary policy. Hence, Target is basically a monetary policy instrument for the euro zone.Target is also designed to provide a safe, effective system for settling intra-day cross-border payments. Its introduction will be a significant improvement on the present situation, since the objectives of the Directive on cross-border payments will be exceeded by far. Target will reduce systemic risk in the Community and facilitate transactions in the single market. In its 1995 annual report, the EMI stated unequivocally that the real-time gross settlement systems of the non-participating countries could also be connected to Target, but only for transactions carried out in euros.In the light of the information at its disposal, the Commission considers that the special conditions which should apply to the non-participating Member States so that the essential monetary-policy constraints of all members of the economic and monetary union can be taken into account must be determined later. The Commission will study the conditions that are proposed and will assess their impact in the light of the Treaty's provisions, in particular those relating to the single market and to competition.
