Jan Laskowski, marketing
manager: 'In 1995, Bank Rolno-
Przemyslowy and Rabobank got
engaged, and in 1996 we're
getting married. We think it's a
perfect fit: Rabobank is the best
in the food and agrimarket - we
were a medium-sized food and
agribusiness bank, but a good
one, Triple-A in the Polish system.
We would like to consumate the
relationship by making lots of
money - together.'

The milk maid: '1'm so glad the
Girl with pearl earring finally got
restored - she was looking a bit
jaded. I would like to thank
Rabobank with all my 17th-
century heart for making it
possible, also on behalf of
Johannes. And it is great to see all
my old friends in the same place
at the same time. Oh, may I say I
simply adore the Rabobank logo -
I think I'm into modern art now.'

Alex de Waal (left), OTC special
products, RSB: 'We entered the
market with a splash. RSB had
only been in existence for a
couple of months when we came
up with the idea of launching put
and call warrants for the newly-
introduced mid-capitalization
index on the Amsterdam Bourse.
Clients, both retail and
institutional, love the index and
they love the product. It helped
put us on the map.'

Hans van de Weerd Sr., foreign
offices department: 'We are
looking to increase our private
banking presence in the region
very considerably so we've opted
for a recruitment strategy.
Recruitment of senior private
bankers is developing very
successfully. We've found clients
here are eager to work with a
Triple-A bank, so we think we
can get a nice piece of the private
banking pie here.'
