Removed the part regarding 'INSYS/cluster bombs' since the most recent report by Campagne tegen Wapenhandel [1] shows that ABN AMRO has sold their shares. bFunk 12-Nov-2004

Not entirely sure, someone else can check on this: but the aritcle notes ABN AMRO is an acronym. However, I thought acronyms are actually able to be able to prnounced, not simply saying the letters aloud? so AMRO would be an acronym, but ABN is not? I suppose its not a huge deal, doesnt really have anything to do with the article but anyone who knows definately shoudl probably change it.

[edit] Merger or acquisition?

I just changed the header 'Build up to acquisition' to 'Build up to Barclays Group' becuase that is more neutral. Whether this is a merger or an cquisition is not to clear. Barclays has a majority share, but only just. The staff are mostly from Barclays, but the headquarters are in Amsterdam. This gives off a clear hint that it should be regarded as a merger. But are there no unequivocal definitions of these terms? DirkvdM 06:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The Barclays acquisition or merger is not certain. Look at the RBS bid that has come out.

the outcome of the ABN story is still very much up in the air. Therefor we only need to 'report' the facts as they come--tonyberge april 27TVB 19:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ABN AMRO

Both parts of the bank's name were originally abbrieviations and so AMRO should be written with capitals aswell ABN Amro is wrong ABN AMRO is right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.34.7 (talk) 19:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
