Under this 30,000,000,000 Structured Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme), CALYON, Calyon Financial Products (Guernsey) Limited and Calyon Finance (Guernsey)
Limited (each an Issuer and together the Issuers) may from time to time issue notes including, without limitation, credit linked notes, commodity linked notes, equity linked notes, fund-linked
notes, index linked notes and other structured notes in accordance with and subject to all applicable laws and regulations (the Notes) denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and
the relevant Dealer (as defined below). This Base Prospectus replaces the base prospectus dated 27 September 2005 relating to the Programme and any supplements thereto.
The Notes may be issued in bearer or registered form (respectively Bearer Notes and Registered Notes). The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding
under the Programme will not exceed 30,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein), subject to increase as described herein. The payments of all amounts

CALYON (in such capacity, the Guarantor).
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Summary of the Programme" and any additional dealer appointed under the Programme from time
to time by any Issuer (each a Dealer and together the Dealers), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the relevant Dealer

herein) and to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme and during the period of 12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus to be admitted to trading on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated

The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s) or markets as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer

Linkages System (PORTAL) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Issuers may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market.

Financial Services Commission nor the Policy Council of the States of Guernsey takes any responsibility for the financial soundness of the arrangement or for the correctness of any of the
statements made or opinions expressed herein with regard to CFP or CFG.

Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Prospective purchasers are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes and
Guarantee may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. See "Subscription and Sale".
Each of CFP and CFG have not registered, and will not register, as an "investment company" under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act).
Any Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes herein, in which event (in the case of Notes intended to be
listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange) a supplementary Base Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such
Notes.
Prospective investors should be aware of the particular risks involved in investing in Notes (for a discussion of these risks see "Risk Factors"). In particular, prospective investors
should be aware that certain Notes may be redeemed at below par and should be prepared to sustain a partial or total loss of their initial investment in the Notes.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
CALYON is a corporation organised under the laws of France. CFP and CFG are corporations
organised under the laws of Guernsey. All of the officers and directors named herein reside outside
the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Issuers and the Guarantor and of
such officers and directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible
for investors to effect service of process outside France or Guernsey, as the case may be, upon the
Issuers, the Guarantor or such persons, or to enforce judgments against them obtained in courts
outside France or Guernsey, as the case may be, predicated upon civil liabilities of the Issuers, the
Guarantor or such directors and officers under laws other than the laws of France or Guernsey, as the
case may be, including any judgment predicated upon United States federal securities laws.
In an original action brought in France predicated solely upon the US federal securities laws, French
courts may not have the requisite jurisdiction to adjudicate such action. Actions for enforcement of
judgments of US courts rendered against the French persons referred to in the preceding paragraph
would require such French persons to waive their right under Article 15 of the French Civil Code to
be sued in France only. CALYON believes that no such French persons have waived such right with
respect to actions predicated solely upon US federal securities laws.

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable
Final Terms may over-allot (provided that, in the case of any Tranche of Notes to be admitted to
trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area, the aggregate principal amount of
Notes allotted does not exceed 105 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant
Tranche) or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level
higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action.
Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the
final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any
time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of
Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes.

Guarantor:
CALYON (in respect of issues by CFP and CFG)

Risk Factors:
There are certain factors that may affect the Issuers' ability to fulfil their
obligations under Notes issued under the Programme. As a consequence of
CALYON's business, the main risk factors which may affect it in its capacity
as Issuer and/or as Guarantor (which may affect its ability to fulfil its
obligation as Guarantor under the Guarantee) are the counterparty risks
mainly generated by its financing activities and the market risks due to its
capital markets activities. In addition, there are certain factors which are
material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with Notes
issued under the Programme (see "Risk Factors").

limited class of professional investors and have a denomination of at least
£100,000 or its equivalent. See "Subscription and Sale".
