New Legal Framework for Payments in the Internal Market
Regulation 2560/2001/EC on cross-border payments in euro has contributed to a considerable reduction in the price for cross-border payments in the Internal Market and has provided an incentive for the payment industry to modernise their EU-wide payment infrastructures. This has been an important step in the process of achieving a Single Payment Area for noncash payments in the Internal Market, which does not exist despite of the introduction of the euro. However, further progress needs to be made, as technical and legal barriers still prevent EU citizens, companies and payment services providers from reaping the full benefits of a truly integrated area for non-cash payments. The Internal Market for goods and services cannot function properly without cheap, efficient and secure payment services.

Southern Serbia's Fragile Peace
The Albanian-majority Presevo Valley in southern Serbia is one of the few  conflict resolution success stories in the former Yugoslavia. Yet tensions linger, and a series of violent incidents in August and September 2003 demonstrated that the peace can still unravel. Serbia's stalled reform process is preventing the political and economic changes that are needed to move forward on many critical issues in the area, and there is a general sense among local Albanians that peace has not delivered what it promised: an end to tensions with Serb security forces and prosperity.
