compensation/par compensation


Explanation:
Eg.: The accounting officer shall recover amounts by offsetting them against equivalent claims that the Agency has on any debtor who himself/herself has a claim on the Agency that is certain, of a fixed amount and due...

Le comptable procède au recouvrement par compensation et à due concurrence des créances de l'Agence à l'égard de tout débiteur lui-même titulaire d'une créance certaine, liquide et exigible à l'égard de l'Agence...

If actual recovery has not taken place by the due date stipulated in the debit note, the accounting officer shall inform the authorising officer responsible and immediately launch the procedure for effecting recovery by any means offered by the law, including, where appropriate, by offsetting and, if this is not possible, by enforced recovery.

Si à l'échéance prévue dans la note de débit, le recouvrement effectif n'a pas eu lieu, le comptable en informe l'ordonnateur compétent, et lance sans délai la procédure de récupération, par toute voie de droit, y compris, le cas échéant, par compensation, et si celle-ci n'est pas possible, par l'exécution forcée.
