Article R314-1 of the French Consumer Code

The calculation of the overall effective rate is based on the assumption that the credit agreement will remain valid for the agreed term and that the creditor and borrower will fulfil their obligations in accordance with the conditions and within the periods specified in the credit agreement. For credit agreements containing clauses which allow for adjustments to the interest rate and, where applicable, to the charges included in the overall effective rate but which cannot be quantified at the time of calculation, the overall effective rate is calculated on the assumption that the interest rate and other charges will remain fixed in relation to the initial level and will apply until the end of the credit agreement.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R314-1


Le calcul du taux effectif global repose sur l’hypothèse que le contrat de crédit restera valable pendant la durée convenue et que le prêteur et l’emprunteur rempliront leurs obligations selon les conditions et dans les délais précisés dans le contrat de crédit. Pour les contrats de crédit comportant des clauses qui permettent des adaptations du taux d’intérêt et, le cas échéant, des frais entrant dans le taux effectif global mais ne pouvant pas faire l’objet d’une quantification au moment du calcul, le taux effectif global est calculé en partant de l’hypothèse que le taux d’intérêt et les autres frais resteront fixes par rapport au niveau initial et s’appliqueront jusqu’au terme du contrat de crédit.
