(151) Is-sistemi legali tad-Danimarka u l-Estonja ma jippermettux multi amministrattivi kif stipulati f’dan ir-Regolament.
Ir-regoli dwar il-multi amministrattivi jistgħu jiġu applikati b’tali mod li fid-Danimarka l-multa tkun imposta mill-qrati nazzjonali kompetenti bħala piena kriminali u fl-Estonja l-multa tkun imposta mill-awtorità superviżorja fil-qafas ta’ proċedura għal reati minuri, dment li tali applikazzjoni tar-regoli f’dawk l-Istati Membri jkollha l-effett ekwivalenti għall-multi amministrattivi imposti mill-awtoritajiet superviżorji.
Għaldaqstant il-qrati nazzjonali kompetenti għandhom iqisu r-rakkomandazzjoni tal-awtorità superviżorja li tkun qed tibda l-multa.
Fi kwalunkwe każ, il-multi imposti għandhom ikunu effettivi, proporzjonati u dissważivi.
(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.
