Recital 91

(91) Current national rules on penalties differ significantly across the Union. In particular, not all Member States ensure that effective, proportionate and dissuasive fines can be imposed on traders responsible for widespread infringements, or widespread infringements with a Union dimension. In certain cases, those traders can also be a group of companies. To ensure that Member States’ authorities can impose effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties in relation to widespread infringements, and to widespread infringements with a Union dimension, that are subject to coordinated investigation and enforcement measures in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 of the European Parliament and of the Council (19), fines should be introduced as an element of the penalties for such infringements.
