"Commissioner, I am aware that you have spoken more than once on the subject of my question. However, I am taking it up on behalf of consumers’ and users’ associations. Mere talk will not placate them. The way to earn their gratitude is usually by resolving the problems. They have raised this concern on a number of occasions yet they continue to be informed that their consumers are lodging complaints about current practice which it is indeed difficult to accept. This is because transfers do not only generate a high cost at their point of origin. They also do so at their destination, inasmuch as banks make unjustified charges when the transfer is initiated and the recipient bank makes unjustified charges at the same rate on receipt of the money. Current practice does not therefore seem to be in line with the aims of the single currency, due to enter into circulation on 1 January 2002. What specific negotiating action could the Commission undertake in this connection, to give some satisfaction to consumers?"@en1
