The Group assigned trade receivables for a total of €1,042 million at 31 December 2019, mainly concerning Edison, EDF SA and Dalkia (€1,095 million at 31 December 2018).

As most assignment operations are carried out on a recurrent, without-recourse basis, the corresponding receivables are no longer carried in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

28.3 Contract assets

Contract assets are rights held by an entity to receive a consideration in return for goods or services supplied to customers, when such rights are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Most contract assets mature within one year.

The contract assets included in receivables represent an amount of €400 million at 31 December 2019 and €439 million at 31 December 2018 and mainly concern Framatome, Dalkia and EDF Renewables.
