PRESS RELEASE

Update of the assessment of securities settlement systems

21 February 2001

On 20 February 2001, the Governing Council of the ECB updated the operational conditions for the use of eligible securities settlement systems (SSSs) in the settlement of collateral for Eurosystem credit operations.

The SSSs have maintained their efforts to enhance compliance with the standards, allowing the Eurosystem to continue reducing the preconditions for their use. In this respect, CADE and Monte Titoli have introduced real time delivery versus payment procedures. Therefore, there are now seven SSSs in the euro area - CADE (Spain), Euroclear France (France), Monte Titoli (Italy), Necigef (The Netherlands), Siteme (Portugal), Interbolsa (Portugal) and APK/RM (Finland) - that can be used without preconditions, compared with one SSS in July 1998 and five in May 1999.

The eligible SSSs and the conditions for use are provided in the enclosed Table 1 and Table 2, which are an update of the list published by means of a press release on 28 May 1999.
