Artikel 84 Sanktionen
Summary What does Article 84 of the GDPR regulation say?
This article works as a companion to Article 83, which governs administrative fines.
Where Article 83 sets out the framework for those fines, Article 84 addresses the broader penalty landscape by requiring Member States to establish additional penalties for infringements not already covered by the administrative fines regime.
Member States are also required to notify the Commission of the national laws they adopt to fulfil this obligation.
Important points:
- Member States are required to establish rules for penalties covering GDPR infringements that fall outside the scope of Article 83 administrative fines.
- Such penalties must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
- Member States must notify the Commission of the relevant national provisions by 25 May 2018, and of any subsequent amendments without delay.
Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
Die Mitgliedstaaten legen die Vorschriften über andere Sanktionen für Verstöße gegen diese Verordnung — insbesondere für Verstöße, die keiner Geldbuße gemäß Artikel 83 unterliegen — fest und treffen alle zu deren Anwendung erforderlichen Maßnahmen. Diese Sanktionen müssen wirksam, verhältnismäßig und abschreckend sein.
Jeder Mitgliedstaat teilt der Kommission bis zum 25. Mai 2018 die Rechtsvorschriften, die er aufgrund von Absatz 1 erlässt, sowie unverzüglich alle späteren Änderungen dieser Vorschriften mit.
