Administrative sanctions
Apart from their liability to pay compensation to data subjects, article 79 contains
detailed proposals for the imposition of fines on individuals and legal persons for
intentional or negligent infringements of the Regulation. The intention is to ensure
that the Regulation’s safeguards are implemented in an effective manner. Three categories of fine, with progressively higher upper limits, are proposed:
- up to ¤250,000 or, in the case of an enterprise, up to 0.5% of its annual worldwide
turnover;
- up to ¤500,000 or, in the case of an enterprise, up to 1% of its annual worldwide
turnover;
- up to ¤1 million or, in the case of an enterprise, up to 2% of its annual worldwide
turnover.
It appears, subject to limited exceptions, that the imposition of fines is intended to be
mandatory and in each individual case “effective, proportionate and dissuasive”. Fines
are to be determined by the supervisory authority on a case-by-case basis with due
regard to “the nature, gravity and duration of the breach”. The factors to be taken into
account when determining the level of fine also include:
- the intentional or negligent character of the infringement;
- the degree of responsibility of the individual or legal person and previous breaches;
and
- the level of cooperation with the supervisory authority in order to remedy the
breach.
Therefore the Presidency invites Ministers to discuss—
• whether the framework of fines set out in article 79 is appropriate;

if wider provision should be made for warnings or reprimands, thereby
making fines optional or at least conditional upon a prior warning or
reprimand;

if supervisory authorities should be permitted to take other mitigating
factors, such as adherence to an approved code of conduct or a privacy seal
or mark, into account when determining sanctions.

Ik vind dat in dit soort kwesties de mate van privacyschending wel eens wordt overschat, terwijl de macht van de individuele consument juist wordt onderschat.

Stel dat bedrijf X mij morgen een aanbieding stuurt omdat ze bepaalde informatie over mijn koopgedrag (denken te) hebben, dan ben ik er nog altijd zélf bij of ik wel of niet op hun aanbieding in ga.
