Penalties

What non-compliance can cost in Greece

The maximum reported penalty in Greece is Penalties set per Article 30 (no euro figure in the statute) — a €2,000–€100,000 range circulates in secondary sources but is not in the law itself. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

This figure is reported: it appears in industry references rather than confirmed primary legislation. Confirm against national law before relying on it.

Cure period

Withdrawal orders and corrective measures are available before or with penalties.
