Euronext Amsterdam: Successful Migration To Euronext Market Model

Date 29/10/2001

Today Euronext Amsterdam successfully changed over to the Euronext cross-border trading system based on NSC technology. Following this change over, the cash markets in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris are united on the same trading platform using the same Euronext Market Model and a common Rule Book. This is an important step towards the creation of the integrated European Market of Euronext.

As from today, market participants can trade in all Euronext markets provided they have clearing and settlement arrangements in place. Once Euronext has integrated clearing and settlement functions next year, the European Market concept will be completed. Euronext will then have created the largest integrated independent European electronic trading platform.

Euronext wishes to thank its financial community and all the individuals who worked so hard to achieve this success.
