Direktivet om forsinket betaling betragtning 13

English language version pr. 2026-10-06 tier 3 Direktiv 2011/7/EU, CELEX 32011L0007

Accordingly, provision should be made for business-to-business contractual payment periods to be limited, as a general rule, to 60 calendar days. However, there may be circumstances in which undertakings require more extensive payment periods, for example when undertakings wish to grant trade credit to their customers. It should therefore remain possible for the parties to expressly agree on payment periods longer than 60 calendar days, provided, however, that such extension is not grossly unfair to the creditor.
