This ECRI Breakfast Meeting will give participants the chance to discuss the latest findings of Intrum Justitia’s forthcoming 2010 European Payment Index, an annually published report on the payment behaviour of consumers, business and the public sector.

The results of the survey, presented by Intrum CEO Lars Wollung and author Madeleine Bosch, will feed into the discussion of Rapporteur Barbara Weiler’s draft report on the Commission proposal to revamp the current legislation on late payments.

The event will take place a week before the text is scheduled to be discussed in the European Parliament’s plenary session.
