Article 11 1d.

By way of derogation from paragraph 1b, where the legal system of the Member State does not provide for administrative penalties, this Article may be applied in such a manner that the penalty is initiated by the competent authority and imposed by judicial authorities, while ensuring that that penalty is effective, proportionate and dissuasive, and has an equivalent effect to the administrative penalties imposed by the competent authorities of the Member States the legal system of which does provide for administrative penalties. In any event, the penalties imposed shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. The Member States the legal system of which does not provide for administrative penalties shall notify the Commission of their penalties by 9 April 2025 and shall notify it without delay of any subsequent amendment affecting them.
