Article 36 Sanctions


Summary What does Article 36 of the NIS 2 directive say?

This is a brief but important enforcement article that places an obligation on Member States to establish penalty frameworks for breaches of national measures implementing this Directive.

It sits alongside the more detailed Articles 32, 33, and 34, which deal with supervisory powers and administrative fines for specific entity types.

Article 36 acts as the overarching penalty mandate, ensuring that Member States have rules in place and that those rules meet a baseline standard.

Important points:

  • Member States must establish rules on penalties for infringements of national implementing measures, ensuring those penalties are effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
  • Member States are required to notify the Commission of their penalty rules and implementing measures by 17 January 2025.
  • Member States must also notify the Commission without delay of any subsequent amendments to those rules or measures.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Les États membres déterminent le régime des sanctions applicables aux violations des dispositions nationales adoptées conformément à la présente directive et prennent toutes les mesures nécessaires pour assurer la mise en œuvre de ces sanctions. Les sanctions prévues sont effectives, proportionnées et dissuasives. Les États membres informent la Commission, au plus tard le 17 janvier 2025, des règles et mesures adoptées à cet égard, ainsi que, sans retard, de toute modification qui y serait apportée ultérieurement.
