Summary What does Article 9 of the RTS on pecuniary sanctions and administrative measures say?
This brief article sets out the practical mechanics of how periodic penalty payments are applied.
It works in direct support of the broader framework established in Articles 7 and 8, which govern the process for imposing such payments.
The article makes clear that these payments are not open-ended — they are tied strictly to the actual period during which a natural or legal person fails to comply with the relevant administrative measure, and it is the supervisor who determines that period.
Important points:
- Supervisors are responsible for determining the period of non-compliance, which defines the total amount ultimately collected.
- Periodic penalty payments can be calculated on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
- Payments are enforced and collected only for the duration of non-compliance with specific administrative measures under Directive (EU) 2024/1640.
Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
