Operative part of the judgment

1.

Article 10(2)(c) of Directive 2008/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 on credit agreements for consumers and repealing Council Directive 87/102/EEC, as amended by Commission Directive 2011/90/EU of 14 November 2011,

must be interpreted as meaning that a credit agreement need not necessarily specify the duration of that agreement expressly, provided that the terms of that agreement enable the consumer to determine that duration without difficulty and with certainty.

2.

Article 10(2)(g) of Directive 2008/48, as amended by Directive 2011/90,

must be interpreted as meaning that the assumptions used in order to calculate the annual percentage rate of charge (APRC) must be expressly identified in the credit agreement and that it is not sufficient in that regard that the consumer may himself or herself identify them by examining the terms of that agreement.
