Must the obligation to reduce the total cost of a mortgage in the case of early repayment thereof, as provided for in Article 25(1) of Directive 2014/17/EU, be interpreted as meaning that the total cost of the mortgage should be reduced in proportion to the relationship of the length of the period between the date of the early repayment of the mortgage and the date originally agreed as the date of repayment of the mortgage to the length of the period originally agreed between the date of the drawdown of the mortgage and the date of the full repayment of the mortgage, or should the reduction of the total cost of the mortgage be proportionate to the loss of the expected benefits to the lender, that is to say to the relationship of the remaining interest to be paid after early repayment of the mortgage (due for the period from the date after actual full repayment to the date of the full repayment originally agreed) to the interest due for the entire duration of the mortgage originally agreed (from the date of the drawdown of the mortgage to the date of the full repayment of the mortgage agreed)?
