Premessa 149
Recital 149
(149) L-Istati Membri għandhom ikunu jistgħu jistabbilixxu r-regoli dwar pieni kriminali għal ksur ta’ dan ir-Regolament, inkluż għal ksur ta’ regoli nazzjonali adottati skont il-limiti ta’ dan ir-Regolament u fi ħdanhom.
Dawk il-pieni kriminali jistgħu wkoll jippermettu li jinċaħdu l-profitti miksuba permezz ta’ ksur ta’ dan ir-Regolament.
Madankollu, l-impożizzjoni ta’ pieni kriminali għal ksur ta’ tali regoli nazzjonali u ta’ sanzjonijiet amministrattivi ma għandhiex twassal għal ksur tal-prinċipju ne bis in idem, kif interpretat mill-Qorti tal-Ġustizzja.
(149) Member States should be able to lay down the rules on criminal penalties for infringements of this Regulation, including for infringements of national rules adopted pursuant to and within the limits of this Regulation.
Those criminal penalties may also allow for the deprivation of the profits obtained through infringements of this Regulation.
However, the imposition of criminal penalties for infringements of such national rules and of administrative penalties should not lead to a breach of the principle of ne bis in idem, as interpreted by the Court of Justice.
