| description | <p>The European payments market is recently subject to intense transformation. This results from the fact that the economic integration process in the making (with monetary integration being a part of this) makes possible, or even forces, the implementation of new instruments or legal solutions which increase the effectiveness of economic processes; among others, through the realisation of the free flow of capital and payments between countries.</p> <p>Some of the new legal acts of the European Union and the SEPA initiative were launched in order to enable and facilitate the integration of the European payments market. Thus, it is important to consider whether they will have a major influence on payment services in the internal market. On the other hand, a no less important question is that of the regulatory changes which lay before European and domestic legislators in order to achieve the integration of the payment market.</p> <p>The legal framework for payment services in the internal market of the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) was described in the first part of the article. Directive 2007/64/EC on payment services in the internal market (PSD), adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, comes under particular analysis.
