Uvodna izjava 151
Recital 151
(151) U pravnim sustavima Danske i Estonije nisu dopuštene upravne novčane kazne kako su navedene u ovoj Uredbi.
Pravila za upravne novčane kazne mogu se primjenjivati na način da u Danskoj nadležni nacionalni sudovi izriču novčanu kaznu kao kaznenu sankciju, a da u Estoniji nadzorno tijelo izriče novčanu kaznu u okviru prekršajnog postupka, pod uvjetom da takva primjena pravilâ u tim državama članicama ima istovrijedni učinak kao i upravne novčane kazne koje izriču nadzorna tijela.
Stoga bi nadležni nacionalni sudovi trebali uzeti u obzir preporuku nadzornog tijela koje ukaže na novčanu kaznu.
U svakom slučaju novčane kazne trebale bi biti učinkovite, proporcionalne i odvraćajuće.
(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.
