  3. STEP was set up to answer the four major issues identified for the short term paper market in Europe. These are: • the differences between the various legal systems across the euro area; • the lack of a single settlement system in Europe; • the great diversity of the features and the terms and conditions of short-term securities; • the segmentation of investors’ demand at national level. www.stepmarket.org

  4. A 4 pillars organisation: • the STEP Market Convention sets out a number of specific industry best practice standards to be adhered to by issuers and other market participants; • the STEP Label will be granted to the programs, which demonstrate that they meet the standards set in the Market Convention; • the independent STEP Secretariat will carry out the labeling process; • the STEP Market Committee, made out of independent market experts, will provide the right guidance for the initiative. www.stepmarket.org
