The box entitled “Penalties” at the bottom on the right hand side must read:

Penalties

Imposition of financial penalties is possible, Arts. 23 et seq. of Regulation 1/2003:
• Fines;
• Periodic penalty payments.

The Commission Guidelines on the method of setting fines (2006) mention mitigating and aggravating circumstances; e.g. _ Google Android, involving the highest fine so far (Commission 2018, General Court 2022, appeal pending).

Ne bis in idem, Art. 6 ECHR:
• The Commission must take account of fines imposed for the same conduct under the national law of a Member State; Boehringer Mannheim (1972), SGL Carbon (2007).
• However, this does not apply in relation to fines imposed for the same conduct under the national law of a third country; SGL Carbon (2007).
