банк. EVM-миграциия (немного яндексится, но...)!A global move by Visa and MasterCard to employ the Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) specification has accelerated smart card adoption. For instance, companies in the United Kingdom have already made rapid progression by moving towards smart cards.Frost & Sullivan’s recent study examines the global banking (financial and loyalty) smart card markets. It offers a competitive analysis on the market shares of key participants. The research provides comprehensive market overview with a global analysis. Market drivers and restraints are also included for end-user benefit.Mandatory EMV Migration to Avoid Liability Shift Proves to Be a Major DriverAdopted in 1996, the EMV migration is a result of EMV acceptance as a global standard. With the approaching migration deadline in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and the Asia Pacific (APAC) regions as well as the growing need to avoid the liability shift, numerous financial institutions are chip-enabling their cards and terminals. They are also running systems migration exercises as enhanced security measures."""As EMV migration is in progress for banks and merchants, private label card operators too are expected to migrate to smart cards for avoiding the risk of fraud passing on to them,"" says the analyst of this research. ""The EMV migration push impacts the retail loyalty market in a big way, since retailers are pressured to upgrade their point of sale (POS) terminals to accept credit and debit smart cards, failing which, the liability of card fraud is likely to shift to them."""29.11.2006 10:26Тема сообщения: EMV- migration юр.Help, please.1) Что может означать EMV-migration в данном тексте:The company is engaged in the business of EMV-Migration, e-Documents, smart cards applications for projects in Governmental, Financial, Corporate and similar markets.2) Помогите перевести voting interest в следующем предложении:ownership of voting securities or voting interest or otherwise.Очень прошу помочь.
