Artikel 24 Korrekturmaßnahmen bei Verstößen

Without prejudice to Article 25, where competent authorities establish that an operator, downstream operator or trader has not complied with this Regulation or that a relevant product placed or made available on the market or exported is non-compliant, they shall without delay require the operator, downstream operator or trader to take appropriate and proportionate corrective action to bring the non-compliance to an end within a specified and reasonable period of time.

For the purposes of paragraph 1, the corrective action required to be taken by the operator, downstream operator or trader shall include at least one of the following, as applicable:

Irrespective of the corrective action taken under paragraph 2, the operator, downstream operator or trader shall address any shortcomings in the due diligence system with a view to preventing the risk of further non-compliance with this Regulation.

If the operator, downstream operator or trader fails to take corrective action as referred to in paragraph 2 within the period of time specified by the competent authority under paragraph 1, or where non-compliance as referred to in paragraph 1 persists, after that period of time competent authorities shall secure application of the required corrective action referred to in paragraph 2 by all means available to them under the law of the Member State concerned.
