GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 3 August 2006
amending Guideline ECB/2005/16 on a Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET)
(ECB/2006/11)
(2006/562/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular to the first and fourth indents of Article 105(2) thereof and to Articles 3.1, 12.1, 14.3, 17, 18 and 22 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The fourth indent of Article 105(2) of the Treaty and the fourth indent of Article 3.1 of the Statute state that one of the basic tasks to be carried out through the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) is to promote the smooth operation of payment systems. |
|
(2) |
Article 22 of the Statute states that the European Central Bank (ECB) and national central banks (NCBs) may provide facilities to ensure efficient and sound clearing and payment systems within the Community and with other countries. |

In addition to connection via interlinking or through a bilateral link, a third form of connection to TARGET should be made available as a transitional measure in view of the future set-up of TARGET2. An NCB without its own RTGS system should be given access to the current TARGET infrastructure by remote participation in another NCB’s RTGS system. |
|
