Article 45 Contrôle de la Cour de justice
Summary What does Article 45 of the DMA regulation say?
This brief but significant article establishes the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in reviewing financial penalties imposed by the Commission under this Regulation.
It draws directly on Article 261 TFEU to grant the Court unlimited jurisdiction over such decisions, meaning the Court is not merely checking whether the Commission acted lawfully, but can actively intervene on the substance of the penalty itself.
Important points:
- The Court of Justice has unlimited jurisdiction to review Commission decisions imposing fines or periodic penalty payments.
- The Court may cancel, reduce, or increase any fine or periodic penalty payment imposed by the Commission.
- This article connects to Articles 30 and 31, which govern the Commission's power to impose those fines and periodic penalty payments in the first place.
