Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Late payment constitutes a breach of contract which is financially attractive to debtors, due to low or no interest rates charged on late payment, or slow procedures for redress. A decisive shift to a culture of prompt payment, including one in which the exclusion of the right to charge interest for late payment is null and void, is necessary to reverse this trend and to discourage late payment. Consequently, contractual payment periods should be limited to 30 calendar days both in B2B transactions and G2B transactions, where the public authority is the debtorwhere the debtor is a large undertaking in the meaning of Directive (EU) 2013/34 and G2B transactions, where the public authority is the debtor. If it is not grossly unfair to the creditor’s rights, the contracting parties should nonetheless be able to expressly agree on longer payment periods, such as when granting trade credit to customers.
