WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR BREAKING EU LAW?

Abstract

Financial sanctions, as lump sum and penalty payments, can be imposed to Member States that failed to implement a judgement establishing an infringement. This mechanism was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty and further developed by the Lisbon Treaty. This paper is an analysis of Article 260 TFEU and examines the evolution of the mechanism, the principles for applying sanctions, the method of calculating sanctions, but also the limits of this procedure.
