COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION
Update of data used to calculate financial sanctions proposed by the Commission to the Court of Justice of the European Union in infringement proceedings C/2024/1123
Under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union TFEU, where the Commission refers a Member State to the Court of Justice of the European Union the Court for failing to fulfil an obligation under the Treaties, it may propose to the Court to impose financial sanctions on that Member State in two situations:
where the Member State has not taken the necessary measures to comply with an earlier judgment of the Court finding an infringement of Union law Article 2602 TFEU 1, or where the Member State has failed to fulfil its obligation to notify measures transposing a directive adopted under a legislative procedure Article 2603 TFEU.
In both cases, the sanction imposed by the Court may be composed of a lump sum payment, as a consequence of the continuation of the infringement until the delivery of its judgment or full compliance, if reached earlier, and a daily penalty payment, to prompt the Member State concerned to bring the infringement to an end as soon as possible after the delivery of the judgment. The Commission proposes the amounts for the financial sanctions to the Court, but it is for the Court, in the exercise of its discretion 2, to determine the amounts that it considers appropriate to the circumstances and proportionate both to the breach that has been established and to the capacity to pay of the Member State concerned.
The principles and method used by the Commission to calculate the financial sanctions it proposes to the Court is established in its Communication Financial sanctions in infringement proceedings 3 hereafter the 2022
Communication.
This update is based on developments in the inflation, population and gross domestic product GDP of each Member State.
The relevant statistics that are to be used relating to the rate of inflation, population and GDP are those established two years prior to the update t-2 rule, i.e. 2022.
The updated n factors, minimum lump sums and flat-rate amounts are set out in Annex to this Communication.
The Commission will apply the updated figures to decisions it takes to bring a case before the Court of Justice under Article 260 TFEU as from the publication of this Communication in the Official Journal.
1 Or where the Member State has not taken the necessary measures to comply with a judgment finding an infringement of a State aid decision under Article 1082 TFEU.
2 This discretion is limited in the case of Article 2603 TFEU cases, where the Court cannot go beyond the amount specified by the Commission.
