Focus Session – Advancing TARGET Services with DLT transactions in central bank money
https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/intro/events/html/fs_20250715.en.html10:10
Welcome address
The Eurosystem launched a strategy to settle transactions recorded on distributed ledger technology (DLT) using central bank money. The initiative follows a two-track approach – Pontes and Appia – and will be built on the exploratory work on new technologies for wholesale central bank money settlement done with market participants in 2024. Learn more about how this strategy supports the wider EU policies and contributes to a harmonised and integrated European financial ecosystem.
Dimitri Pattyn, Deputy Director General, ECB10:20
Findings from the exploratory work
The Eurosystem tested three interoperability-type solutions in 2024 together with 64 participants which conducted 50 trials and experiments, with the aim of exploring the potential use of DLT to settle wholesale financial transactions. Learn more about the results of the exploratory work and the lessons learnt.
Holger Neuhaus, Head of Division, ECB10:40
Short-term track: Pontes
Deep dive into one of the tracks – Pontes which will provide a short-term offering to the market – including a pilot phase. It will offer euro central bank money settlement, linking market DLT platforms and TARGET Services to settle financial transactions. Learn more about the project roadmap and how you can be involved.
George Kalogeropoulos, Deputy Head of Division, ECB11:10
Long-term track: Appia
The ECB will provide insights on its work on the long-term integrated ecosystem using DLT, the collaboration with public and private stakeholders, and the international dimension.

MIL-OSI Video: UK UK Economic security – Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms & Export Controls
Source: United Kingdom UK Parliament (video statements)
The Business and Trade sub-Committee questions Marks and Spencer Chairman Archie Norman on the devastating cyber-attack that has disrupted the iconic British retailer’s operations for months.
After acknowledging the attack in April, the company was forced to suspend all online sales for weeks and its website operations are not expected to be fully restored for another month or so. It is believed some customer data was also breached. Marks and Spencer has estimated the attack will hit this year’s profits by £300 million.
At around the same time in April, the Co-op Group disclosed “unauthorised access attempts” that disrupted customer and back-office services.
What happened in these two cases and what does it tell us about UK’s approach, across the public and private sectors, to countering a commercial and economic risk that may be growing to the point where it becomes “uninsurable”?

The Secretary-General is in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, where he is attending the 17th Summit of the BRICS countries. This morning, addressing an outreach session on “Environment, COP30 and global health”, Mr. Guterres warned that our environment is being attacked on all fronts.
The Secretary-General pointed out that across the world, lives and livelihoods are being ripped apart, and sustainable development gains left in tatters as disasters accelerate. He said that the most vulnerable and the poorer pay the highest price and stressed that we need to tackle the point where climate and health meet.
The Secretary-General emphasized we need governments to build on the progress of last year’s biodiversity COP, particularly reaching an ambitious agreement on finance, adding that we need to make COP30 a success, and as you know COP30 will be held in Brazil this year.
Yesterday, addressing an outreach session on “Strengthening multilateralism, economic-financial affairs and artificial intelligence”, the Secretary-General said that artificial intelligence is reshaping economies and societies, and that the fundamental test is how wisely we guide this transformation.
The Secretary-General also emphasized that AI cannot be a club of the few, but must benefit all, and in particular, developing countries which must have a real voice in the governance of artificial intelligence.
The Secretary-General is also expected to hold a number of bilateral meetings with some leaders who are attending BRICS. We will share the readouts with you as we receive them.DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL
The Deputy Secretary-General, over the weekend, was representing the Secretary-General at the official commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Independence of Cabo Verde.
Today, she is in The Gambia where she met with President Adama Barrow and other senior government officials to strengthen the relationship between the United Nations and the Gambia. She also discussed with him national efforts to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Deputy Secretary-General is currently meeting with youth and women stakeholders, and she is expected to highlight the importance of investing in youth skills and women’s economic empowerment as a strategic lever for advancing the SDGs.
Tomorrow, she will travel to Cameroon to also represent the Secretary-General and this time she will be representing him at the International Conference on the Sustainable Blue Economy in the Gulf of Guinea.Full Highlights:

MIL-OSI Video: UK E-petition debate relating to fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship – Monday 7 July 2025.
Source: United Kingdom UK Parliament (video statements)
The Petitions Committee has scheduled a debate relating to fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship.
Jacob Collier MP has been asked by the Committee to open the debate. The Government will send a Minister to respond.
Read the petition:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700024Find petitions you agree with, and sign them: https://petition.parliament.uk/
What are petition debates?
Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.
Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.
The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on petitions to parliament started on petition.parliament.uk
