I'll translate it when I reach the office, but the headline of the article reads:
"Despite downturns and thefts, Bitcoin is gaining legitimacy after an approval by the ECB. Will 2013 be a turnaround for Bitcoin?"

Approval by the ECB ? When did that happen ? Not yet as far as I know....

Why bother? The article isn't very good, and apparently it is primarily a translation of one from Le Monde.

It has several mistakes, the biggest one being that "Bitcoin has become a PSP", which itself was copied from an even worse article (http://technation.themarker.com/1.1882317) (entirely based on this mistake) in TheMarker, which I also considered important until now.

I offered a correction to the TheMarker paper, but they censored it. Let's see how my comments in Ha'aretz fare (they belong to the same group).

The last article from Ha'aretz was also terribly flawed. I wish they would actually spend more then 10 minute google searches on it.
