The Organisations signing the Code of Conduct believe that price transparency is an essential requirement for the integration of European capital markets and welcome measures in this direction. The implementation of price transparency should be in place by 31 December 2006.
In order to further support ongoing individual efforts to increase pricing transparency, the Organisations agree on the following objectives:
- to enable customers to understand the services they will be provided with, and to understand the prices they will have to pay for these services, including discount schemes.
- to facilitate the comparison of prices and services, and to enable customers to reconcile ex-post billing of their business flow against the published prices and the services provided.
