  • This governs transitional arrangements for entry into force of new consumer credit framework transposing EU Directive 2023/2225.
  • First amendment clarifies that the Nov. 20, 2026 entry-into-force date applies specifically to credit contract offers emitted from that date onwards. not merely to contracts signed from that date.
  • Second amendment adds that contract offers emitted before Nov. 20, 2026 are to be treated as contracts already in force, ensuring they remain governed by prior regulatory framework rather than the new one.
