D15a27 - What is to be understood by “cross-border enforcement of penalties and financial administrative fines”?

In the event that a competent authority of a Member State is not in a position to enforce or notify an administrative penalty and fine in accordance with the legislation, the rules and the administrative practices in force in its own country, the latter may, under the rules relating to cross-border enforcement of administrative penalties and fines laid down by Directive 2014/67/EU, arrange for those penalties and fines to be recognised and enforced by the competent authority of another Member State.

Thus, in the case of undertakings which are established in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and which are penalised abroad by a competent authority of another Member State, the latter may send the ITM a request for enforcement of a financial administrative penalty or fine definitively imposed in order to secure the enforcement thereof in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Similarly, in the case of undertakings established abroad which are penalised in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the ITM may send to the competent authority of another Member State a request for enforcement of a financial administrative penalty or fine definitively imposed in order to secure the enforcement thereof.
