Betragtning 151
Recital 151
(151) Retssystemerne i Danmark og Estland giver ikke mulighed for administrative bøder som fastsat i denne forordning.
Reglerne om administrative bøder kan i Danmark anvendes ved, at bøder pålægges af de kompetente nationale domstole som en strafferetlig sanktion, og i Estland ved, at bøder pålægges af tilsynsmyndigheden inden for rammerne af en forseelsesprocedure, forudsat at en sådan anvendelse af reglerne i disse medlemsstater har en virkning, der svarer til virkningen af administrative bøder, som tilsynsmyndighederne pålægger.
De kompetente nationale domstole bør derfor tage hensyn til en anbefaling fra den tilsynsmyndighed, der har taget skridt til en bøde.
De pålagte bøder bør under alle omstændigheder være effektive, stå i rimeligt forhold til overtrædelsen og have afskrækkende virkning.
(151) The legal systems of Denmark and Estonia do not allow for administrative fines as set out in this Regulation.
The rules on administrative fines may be applied in such a manner that in Denmark the fine is imposed by competent national courts as a criminal penalty and in Estonia the fine is imposed by the supervisory authority in the framework of a misdemeanour procedure, provided that such an application of the rules in those Member States has an equivalent effect to administrative fines imposed by supervisory authorities.
Therefore the competent national courts should take into account the recommendation by the supervisory authority initiating the fine.
In any event, the fines imposed should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
