(148) Da bi okrepili izvrševanje pravil te uredbe, bi bilo treba poleg ustreznih ukrepov, ki jih v skladu s to uredbo naloži nadzorni organ, ali namesto njih za vsako kršitev uredbe uvesti kazni, vključno z upravnimi globami. V primeru manjših kršitev ali v primeru, ko bi globa, ki bi bila verjetno naložena, predstavljala nesorazmerno breme za fizično osebo, se lahko namesto globe izreče opomin. Vsekakor pa bi bilo treba ustrezno upoštevati naravo, težo in trajanje kršitve, namernost kršitve, sprejete ukrepe za ublažitev utrpljene škode, stopnjo odgovornosti ali morebitne pomembne predhodne kršitve, način, kako se je s kršitvijo seznanil nadzorni organ, skladnost z ukrepi, odrejenimi zoper upravljavca ali obdelovalca, zavezanost h kodeksu ravnanja in morebitne druge oteževalne ali olajševalne dejavnike. Za uvedbo kazni, vključno z upravnimi globami, bi morali veljati ustrezni postopkovni zaščitni ukrepi v skladu s splošnimi načeli prava Unije in Listine, vključno z učinkovitim sodnim varstvom in ustreznimi postopki.
(148) In order to strengthen the enforcement of the rules of this Regulation, penalties including administrative fines should be imposed for any infringement of this Regulation, in addition to, or instead of appropriate measures imposed by the supervisory authority pursuant to this Regulation. In a case of a minor infringement or if the fine likely to be imposed would constitute a disproportionate burden to a natural person, a reprimand may be issued instead of a fine. Due regard should however be given to the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement, the intentional character of the infringement, actions taken to mitigate the damage suffered, degree of responsibility or any relevant previous infringements, the manner in which the infringement became known to the supervisory authority, compliance with measures ordered against the controller or processor, adherence to a code of conduct and any other aggravating or mitigating factor. The imposition of penalties including administrative fines should be subject to appropriate procedural safeguards in accordance with the general principles of Union law and the Charter, including effective judicial protection and due process.
(150) Za okrepitev in uskladitev upravnih kazni za kršitve te uredbe bi moral imeti vsak nadzorni organ pooblastila za naložitev upravnih glob. Ta uredba bi morala navajati kršitve, zgornjo mejo in merila za določanje s tem povezanih upravnih glob, ki bi jih moral v vsakem posameznem primeru določiti pristojni nadzorni organ ob upoštevanju vseh zadevnih okoliščin v določeni situaciji ter zlasti narave, teže in trajanja kršitve ter njenih posledic in sprejetih ukrepov za zagotavljanje skladnosti z obveznostmi iz te uredbe in za preprečitev ali ublažitev posledic kršitve. Kadar se upravne globe naložijo podjetjem, bi se podjetje v te namene moralo razumeti kot podjetje v skladu s členoma 101 in 102 PDEU. Kadar se upravne globe naložijo osebam, ki niso podjetje, bi moral nadzorni organ pri določanju ustreznega zneska globe upoštevati splošno raven dohodka v državi članici in ekonomski položaj osebe. Mehanizem za skladnost se lahko uporabi tudi za spodbujanje dosledne uporabe upravnih glob. Države članice bi morale določiti, ali bi se morale upravne globe uporabljati tudi za javne organe in v kakšnem obsegu. Naložitev upravne globe ali izdaja opozorila ne vpliva na uporabo drugih pooblastil nadzornih organov ali drugih kazni v skladu s to uredbo.
(150) In order to strengthen and harmonise administrative penalties for infringements of this Regulation, each supervisory authority should have the power to impose administrative fines. This Regulation should indicate infringements and the upper limit and criteria for setting the related administrative fines, which should be determined by the competent supervisory authority in each individual case, taking into account all relevant circumstances of the specific situation, with due regard in particular to the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement and of its consequences and the measures taken to ensure compliance with the obligations under this Regulation and to prevent or mitigate the consequences of the infringement. Where administrative fines are imposed on an undertaking, an undertaking should be understood to be an undertaking in accordance with Articles 101 and 102 TFEU for those purposes. Where administrative fines are imposed on persons that are not an undertaking, the supervisory authority should take account of the general level of income in the Member State as well as the economic situation of the person in considering the appropriate amount of the fine. The consistency mechanism may also be used to promote a consistent application of administrative fines. It should be for the Member States to determine whether and to which extent public authorities should be subject to administrative fines. Imposing an administrative fine or giving a warning does not affect the application of other powers of the supervisory authorities or of other penalties under this Regulation.
(151) Pravna sistema na Danskem in v Estoniji ne dovoljujeta upravnih glob, kakor so določene v tej uredbi. Pravila o upravnih globah se lahko uporabljajo na tak način, da na Danskem globo naložijo pristojna nacionalna sodišča kot kazensko sankcijo, v Estoniji pa jo nadzorni organi naložijo v okviru prekrškovnega postopka, pod pogojem, da se s takšno uporabo pravil v teh državah članicah zagotovi enak učinek, kot ga imajo upravne globe, ki jih naložijo nadzorni organi. Pristojna nacionalna sodišča bi zato morala upoštevati priporočilo nadzornega organa, ki je sprožil postopek za naložitev globe. V vsakem primeru pa bi morale globe biti učinkovite, sorazmerne in odvračilne.
(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.
