Article R322-8 of the French Insurance Code

In prospectuses, posters, circulars, notices, advertisements or any other documents relating to the loans of the companies mentioned in article R. 322-5, it must be explicitly stated that a lien has been instituted in favour of the insured parties by article L. 327-2 and that the lender, even if insured, does not benefit from any lien for the interest and repayment of this loan. This information must also be clearly displayed on the loan documents.

Each year, the company’s expenses must include a constant sum intended for the payment of interest and the repayment of loans or for the constitution of a reserve for the amortisation of loans. This obligation does not apply to subordinated securities and loans.
