Publication of annual value of turnover data for 2002

The migration from the TSA trading system to NSC that took place on 29 October 2001 will affect the way in which annual value of turnover of companies listed at Euronext Amsterdam is published from 2002 onwards. First, value of turnover generated via the electronic order book will be published on a single-count basis (this was done on a double-count basis in TSA). Second, value of turnover of companies listed at Euronext Amsterdam which is generated outside the electronic order book but still on the regulated market no longer be added to the value of turnover from the electronic order book but will be published separately.
