"There will be two or three clearance and settlementplatforms that will evolve with the pan-European tradingenvironment," he added. Goldstein said DTCC's recently proposed $975 million deal totake over European clearing house LCH.Clearnet could becompleted by end-March and would give the U.S. powerhouse a keypiece of European infrastructure to win business from otherEuropean players. EuroCCP recently joined alternative pan-European tradingplatform Turquoise and plans to offer clearing through two othermulti-lateral trading facilities (MTFs) SmartPool and NYSEArca Europe which are due to launch in the first quarter. "There's going to be a proliferation of platforms (inEurope), both MTF and clearing, but eventually there will beconsolidation to put efficiency back into the system," Goldsteinsaid. "The pendulum will swing back." Alternative trading platforms like Turquoise, which isbacked by big banks including Goldman Sachs (GS.N) and MorganStanley (MS.N), have recently emerged to compete with Europe'smain stock exchanges. Turquoise met its target for 5 percent of European tradingvolumes in 2008 and is handling an average of about 6 percentper day since January, the company told Reuters on Tuesday.

The more volumes alternative trading platforms can capture,the more attractive clearing prices can be offered by EuroCCP,which like its U.S parent runs at cost and returns excess fundsto its members. "No other Spanish firm is a member, but we expect additionalinterest as we get closer to launch," DTCC CorporateCommunications Director Stephen Letzler said. Turquoise is making its full launch in Spain with 100 stocksincluding those from the IBEX-35 index .IBEX and about 60 or70 of the most liquid stocks from Spain's general index on Feb 23.
