text: Suspension of the payment period as provided for in Article II.21.7 is not considered as 
  giving rise to late payment. 
  
  Interest on late payment covers the period running from the day following the due date 
  for payment up to and including the date of payment as defined in Article II.21.1. 
  
  However, when the calculated interest is EUR 200 or less, it must be paid to the contractor 
  (or leader in the case of a joint tender) only if it requests it within two months of receiving 
  late payment.
