European Parliament Adopts SEPA Regulation. This Regulation Effectively Mandates Migration to SEPA by 1 February 2014 in the Euro Area. 14-02-2012
On 14 February 2012, the European Parliament adopted the 'Regulation establishing technical and business requirements for credit transfers and direct debits in euro and amending Regulation (EC) No 924/2009' (the SEPA Regulation), which defines 1 February 2014 as the deadline in the euro area for compliance with the core provisions of this Regulation. Effectively, this means that as of this date, existing national euro credit transfer and direct debit schemes will be replaced by SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) and SEPA Direct Debit (SDD).
