\section*{*What is missing in our concept?*}
-We believe that concept described above fits together with the Taler designed system to quickly provide a viable, safe, easy-to-use, low-cost solution to introduce a digital krona as complement to cash, that offers most of the advantages of cash without its downsides, as all recipients of funds are always identifiable (and hence government friendly and discouraging fraud and other illegal businesses). In addition, such a solution based on Taler can be implemented quickly and the open standard protocol without patents with free reference implementations should facilitate fast implementation by all relevant parties.
+We believe that Riksbank's concept described above fits well with Taler
+to provide a viable, safe, easy-to-use, and low-cost e-krona system to
+complement or eventually supplant cash. Taler provides the advantages
+of cash while supporting taxation and avoiding criminal usage, as
+recipients are always identifiable.

+Importantly, Taler is implemented as Free Software distributed under the
+GNU General Public License and without patent encumbrances.
+This ensures a Riksbank retains sovereignty after deploying Taler.
+No foreign government or company can impose their own restrictions or
+regulatory regime.
