The EAA in Czechia
Czechia has written the European Accessibility Act into national law; its enforcing authority is named and operational, currently in a guidance and monitoring phase.
Penalties
What non-compliance can cost in Czechia
The maximum reported penalty in Czechia is Up to CZK 10,000,000 (≈ €400,000) — for the most serious offenses; corrective orders precede fines. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Cure period
Supervisory bodies issue corrective-measure orders before fines.
