Summary What does Article 9 of the RTS on pecuniary sanctions and administrative measures say?

This article sets out the mechanics of how periodic penalty payments are applied in practice.

It builds directly on the broader framework for periodic penalty payments established in the preceding articles, addressing two practical questions: how the payment amount is measured over time, and for how long it can actually be enforced.

The key principle here is that these payments are not open-ended — they are strictly tied to the period during which non-compliance persists, with supervisors responsible for determining that period.

Important points:

Supervisors determine the period of non-compliance, which directly governs how long periodic penalty payments are enforced and collected.
Periodic penalty payments can only be enforced for the duration of non-compliance with specific administrative measures under Article 56(2), points (b), (d), (e) and (g), of Directive (EU) 2024/1640.
The payment amount is calculated on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
