This issue:

1. Single Platform
2. Simulator Bulletins
3. Christmas and New Year Opening Hours

Single Platform

Recent documentation from Euroclear on the Single Platform and CCI changes suggest that the launch of the software for the Single Platform migration is now delayed to the fourth quarter of 2009. CCI is still scheduled for late 2008. Our timetable remains unchanged and we are still working to our original dates for making the relevant changes on the simulator ready for testing.

Please see our website for further details and timetables for 2008/2009:
