Article 3 a (new)
Article 3a Payment periods in transactions between undertakings 1. In commercial transactions between undertakings, the payment period shall not exceed 30 days, from the date of the receipt of the invoice or an equivalent request for payment by the debtor, provided that the debtor has received the goods or services. If objectively justified and agreed between the parties in the contract in clear and unambiguous terms, the payment periods may exceed 30 days. This extension may not represent an unfair practice. 2. A procedure of acceptance or verification may be provided for in national law. In that case, the contract shall describe the details of the procedure of acceptance or verification, including its duration. 3. Where the contract provides for a procedure of acceptance or verification, in accordance with paragraph 2, the maximum duration of that procedure shall not exceed 30 days from the date of receipt of the goods or services by the debtor, unless objectively justified and agreed between the parties in the contract in clear and unambiguous terms. 4. The payment period set out in paragraph 1 is without prejudice to a shorter period which may be provided for in national law.
