Hello everyone...I decided to send this again with some additional information so that you can see that these things may be related and may have a real impact for citizens of the U.S.....I want to urge the serious of the implications of what is going on yet at the same time may not be so readily apparent to many folks unless there is a close inspection of political agreements taking place between the U.S. and the EU...Let's not let it take us by surprise...Please, take the time to review this information carefully so that you can see what may be heading our way. I know it may seem boring but it won't be when you realize the possibility of a very serious situation developing.
The last email informed of the sepa (Single European Payment Area) and the structure being put in place in the EU and that information is included so you can see that it may relate to the VERY REAL MOVE TOWARD ECONOMIC INTEGRATION between the U.S. and the EU....Proof of this move toward economic integration is the information (from actual government sources) that is added in this email to the previous email that was sent to you...If the EU and the U.S. are being integrated economically then the cashless system going in place in the EU could possibly be implimented in the U.S...Remember that the medium of exchange (buying and selling) is the grease of the economic wheel...If the two nations are to be integrated economically then it doesn't seem too far fetched that there is a real possibility that the mode of transactions may be integrated as well...Please take the time to visit the links and read the information while keeping in mind both the new EU payment system and the integration of the EU and U.S. economies...Their goals include removing barriers to trade...A difference in the medium of exchange can be considered as a barrier to trade.

Affirming our shared commitment to increase the transparency and efficiency of our economic cooperation and to accelerate the reduction of barriers to international trade and investment;
Desiring to improve the effectiveness of existing economic cooperation and to elevate and accelerate existing work to achieve tangible progress;
Recognizing that the transatlantic economy remains at the forefront of globalization, and that the United States and the European Union are each other's most important economic partners, reflecting historical ties as well as a wide range of common fundamental values, such as the importance of free enterprise, rule of law, property rights, free trade, and competition, and the protection of health, safety and the environment for our citizens and workers;"

A major restucture of the payment process is taking place in Europe and the goal is to be completely cashless by the end of 2010...
"Let’s complement the SEPA instruments with innovative services, such as online and mobile payment initiation, e-invoicing and e-reconciliation.
