The decision of the EU Commission to accept the long standing pressure of EuroCommerce, the EU federation of which GRTU is an active member of behalf of Maltese traders and retailers, to give a representation to Euro Commerce on the EU SEPA Council is a great victory for all enterprises in the commerce sector.
Commerce represent the largest economic sector in the EU and the SEPA Council with its function to promote the realisation of an integrated euro retail payments market by ensuring proper stakeholder involvement at high level and by fostering consensus on the next steps towards the realisation of SEPA, is essential for all traders and retailers.
