Artikel 8 Indrivning av sanktionsavgifter och viten
Summary What does Article 8 of the Fines and penalties of the EBA say?
This article deals with the financial handling of fines and periodic penalty payments collected by the EBA.
It sets out a clear sequence: funds are held in interest-bearing accounts while subject to appeal, then transferred to the Commission once finalised, and ultimately entered into the EU's general budget.
It also establishes a reporting obligation for the EBA toward the Commission.
Important points:
- The EBA is required to hold collected fines and periodic penalty payments in interest-bearing accounts, kept separate from its own budget, until those penalties become final.
- Once all appeal rights are exhausted, the EBA must transfer the collected amounts, including any accrued interest, to the Commission for entry into the general budget of the Union.
- The EBA must report regularly to the Commission on the amounts of fines and periodic penalty payments imposed and their status.
Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
De sanktionsavgifts- och vitesbelopp som EBA driver in ska placeras på ett räntebärande konto som öppnas av myndigheten fram till dess att de blir slutgiltiga. Om EBA samtidigt drivit in flera sanktionsavgifter eller viten ska myndigheten se till att de placeras på olika konton eller underkonton. Inbetalda sanktionsavgifter och viten ska inte föras upp i EBA:s budget eller redovisas som budgetbelopp.
När EBA har fastställt att sanktionsavgifterna eller vitena blivit slutgiltiga sedan all rätt till överklagande har uttömts ska myndigheten överföra beloppen och eventuell upplupen ränta till kommissionen. Dessa belopp ska sedan föras upp i unionens allmänna budget.
EBA ska regelbundet rapportera till kommissionen de sanktionsavgifts- och vitesbelopp som har ålagts samt deras status.
