Judgment_paragraph 78 · European Commission v Printeos, SA (C-301/19 P)

78The General Court was also correct to characterise that interest as ‘default’ interest. It was interest required on the payment of a fixed amount receivable, namely that of the fine imposed on Printeos in the 2014 Decision which Printeos had paid on a provisional basis and was to be repaid to it following the annulment of that decision. As is clear from the case-law cited in paragraph 55 of the present judgment, the interest owed in such a case is default interest.
