The EAA in Finland
Finland 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 Finland
The maximum reported penalty in Finland is Discretionary fines and prohibitions; no fixed cap — conditional fines if a compliance order is ignored. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Finland has an established public-sector accessibility regime that the EAA extends to private services.
Cure period
Compliance order first; penalty fine on continued non-compliance.
Complaints & enforcement
How a complaint reaches a penalty in Finland
Supervision and complaints go through Traficom.
Scope
Who must comply
The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Finland is in scope, including companies based outside the EU. Micro-enterprises are exempt for services only. See the full scope and exemptions on the overview.
