Position Paper on Late Payments Directive Revision

FoodServiceEurope welcomes the opportunity to provide our position on the revision the existing Directive on late payments. Late payments, in particular by national and local public authorities, continue to be a very serious problem for our industry. While the situation diverges substantially across Member States, in national markets payment terms from public authorities can reach up to 200 days, creating serious burdens in terms of cash flow for catering companies.
