lt lias been a long 12 months since the first
announcement on a proposed joint ven
ture between the German cooperative DG
Bank and RI. A lot of time, energy, effort,
soul-searching has gone into the process.
And now, the phased integration process
of DGRI has been stopped. However, DG
bank will acquire 50% of Rabo Securities.
A full report of what it all means was
Flashed to you earlier. We trust it has
given you the full picture of what hap-
pened and where we go from here, a path
whieh is, by the way, very clear and
defined.
The fact that you've had full coverage in
the Flash means What's NewS can focus
on what's been happening around the net-
work. And it's a lot. Our standards on
compliance have now been published
page 3). A strong management team has
been appointed for the day-to-day running
of RI (see pages 4-5). We've hosted an-
other of our top F&A conferences, this
time on sugar and sweeteners (page 6).
And the next phase in the focused F&A
implementation strategy is on track.
M&A people from all over the world put
two heavy days into developing their of
fering at an offsite in Holland (page 12).
But the big news has to be that RI ends a
turbulent year with its sights set firmly on
F&A and TMI. Let's get on with it...
