SPAIN: Will the lower payments in late trade?


Mr. Piero Viganego


The government's response allaproblematica of late payments, especially severe in Spain, it is attuatacon Law 15/2010.

Before the Reform Act eService only to qualify for the increased interest in arrears, soloquando you arrive at court proceedings. In fact, over the years by the crisis, instead of 5% interest you could take the interests of 11.10%, masempre in court, never by way of settlement.

La riforma non introduce la viadi sanzioni amministrative per costringere all’adempimento dei termini legalidi pagamento, ma lascia ai propri imprenditori la carica di denunciarsi avicenda e ai clienti, quando lo considerino conveniente ai propri interessi. Sitratta dunque di un intervento del Governo poco invasivo sul mercato, anche serealmente introduce il termine massimo di pagamento di 60 giorni nelleoperazioni commerciali. La Spagna si é anticipata alla riforma della Direttivasulla morosità e ha deciso di stabilire un termine di pagamento massimo di 60giorni, con questo regime transitorio:
   

From 07/07/2010 up to 31/12/2011
85 days
From 01/01/2012 to 31 / 12/2012
75 days
From 01/01/2013
60 days





You will begin to count dalladata delivery, even in the presence of a deadline for the examination and eventualeaccettazione the goods.
fatturareentro the companies will have 30 days from delivery.
The term "days" shall riferitoa calendar days, not just the holidays.

The intention of the legislature and those describing the maximum limit of 60 days even though he domenticato diderogare the old Article 9, which qualifies as the statutory scheme of 60days Subsidiary and seems to leave this matter to delleparti autonomy, then clauses allowing lengthening of payment terms, they are not abusive. The solution to cancel this incongruenzadella rule would be that the derogation under Article 9 or dell'inapplicazione daparte courts, which must comply with the limit of 60 days.

Raccomandazionelegislativa It is true that the European Parliament for the reform of the Directive is nellalinea to accept the extension of the period of 60 days, unless sitratti of abusive situations, but it seems clear that Spain diseguire decided the hard line of the maximum mandatory by parties.

What happens if a customer pagaoltre 60 days?

As mentioned before, lasoluzione if your supplier will have to try that, if you would raise your bandieradei their rights in front of the customer, you will:

§ Wait for the end customer relationship conil. In fact, what the company will tell a customer that is inadempientecon payment terms e che deve pagare gli interessi maggiorati?
§          Nel momento in cui il rapporto siafinito, senza speranza di riorientamento futuro, allora il fornitore potràandare dal Giudice per richiedere gli interessi, possibiltà questa che esistevaprima della riforma e che pochi hanno deciso di portare avanti.

Ci domandiamo se il fornitore potrebbe chiedere i danni.La Raccomandazione sulla riforma della Direttiva parla indirettamente di questapossibilità. Cosa succederebbe allora se un supplier fails to void the terms imposed by a higher-paying customer? In theory the customer could ask Idanna since the Court has the opportunity to speak nelleconseguenze ineffective due to clauses (Article 1258 English Civil Code).

Another way of doing so, the Act provides sullaConcorrenza unfair. The supplier does not accept payment of more than 60days and see how other competitors are contracted by a client chesupera the statutory period for payment, you may sue the supplier that clienteperso and tolerant, and ask for unfair competition, however, show that the danni.Dovrebbe point of the extended payment term summer determining the relationship between the customer and that competitor.

The Law on late payments Daallo business associations, chambers of commerce and boards of ordiniprofessionali, the ability to act in the courts for the annulment dipratiche continuing non-compliance with payment deadlines. Questienti so far have not acted in this area. We'll see if this change situazionenel future.

There will be another conseguenzaper companies pay beyond 60 days. The Law imponel'obbligo indicate in the Notes the "information about the terms of payment to suppliers."

This consequence may be piùapparente than real, for these reasons:

a) In Spain there for a specificasanzione the companies that make bad or incompletely propriaNota Accounts.
b) probably pagaoltre company that 60 days may be indicated in Note Notes: "In payments to suppliers Aziendarispetta the obligations contained in the Law 3 / 2004 of 29 December and nonapplica clauses that could be illegal according to the criteria of Article 9di this rule." In the case of companies subject to revision deiconti, we'll see what the reviewers admit.


We believe that the reform dadegli tools to pressure companies that pay late, we'll aveda whether providers or public or private legal entities agree diag.
