Summary What does Article 11 of the RTS on pecuniary sanctions and administrative measures say?
This is the regulation's entry into force and applicability article, establishing when the rules become legally effective and binding.
It sets out a staggered application timeline, with most obliged entities subject to the regulation from July 2027, while a specific subset of obliged entities under Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 benefit from a later start date of July 2029.
Importantly, ongoing enforcement proceedings initiated before July 2027 are explicitly excluded from the regulation's scope.
Important points:
- The regulation applies from 10 July 2027 for most obliged entities, but those under Article 3, points (3)(n) and (o), of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 have until 10 July 2029 to comply.
- Proceedings related to pecuniary sanctions, administrative measures, and periodic penalty payments initiated before 10 July 2027 are not subject to this regulation.
- This regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable across all Member States, requiring no transposition into national law.
