In case of non-compliance with the above regulation, the following administrative fines shall be imposed. For every delayed submission an initial fixed penalty of €50 will be imposed, plus an additional charge of €1 per day for every day after the above deadline for the first six months and €2 for every day onwards. The maximum capped penalty to be imposed for non-compliance is €500.
