Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) Separate migration dates should be set in order to take into account the differences between credit transfers and direct debits. Union-wide credit transfers and direct debits do not have the same level of maturity, since a direct debit is a more complex instrument than a credit transfer and, consequently, migration to Union-wide direct debits requires significantly more resources than migration to Union-wide credit transfers.deleted

Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) Since payment service providers from Member States outside the euro area would need to undertake more preparatory work, such payment service providers should be allowed to defer the application of these technical requirements for a certain period. Member States outside the euro area should however comply with the technical requirements swiftly to create a true European payment area, which will strengthen the internal market.
