To end late payments the European Union therefore adopted Directive 2011/7/EU on combating late payment in commercial transactions.

To end this damaging culture of late payment in Europe, European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani launched today in Rome an information campaign across all 27 EU Member States and Croatia, to encourage speedy incorporation of the Late Payment Directive into national law, even before the absolute deadline on 16th March 2013.

The European Late Payment Directive was designed to combat late payment of commercial transactions.

In the event of late payment, this Directive should allow a creditor to resort to charging interest for late payment without giving any prior notice of non-performance or other similar notice reminding the debtor of his obligation to pay.

To attain this objective, the Commission recommends that the Member States should: 1. reinforce transparency in contractual relations, improve training and information in businesses and mitigate the fiscal effects of late payments (for example by deferring payment of VAT until the corresponding invoice has been settled) 2. ensure adequate recompense in cases of late payment by recognizing a right to interest at a sufficiently dissuasive rate for late payments; 3. guarantee appropriate redress procedures by encouraging low-cost extra-judicial procedures and by simplifying judicial procedures; 4. eliminate difficulties specific to cross- ...[+++]border trade; 5. improve payment periods for public procurement contracts, by adhering to a maximum period of 60 days.
