Court-order fines member states 2025 update
Dear Madam, Sir,
On 31 January 2022, I requested the DG Budget Access to Documents team 'All data on the total amount of fines paid per member state per infringement, for the period from 1 January 2012 until 1 January 2022.'
The BUDG Fines Team kindly compiled this information (see Ares(2022)716399 and Ares(2022)1135821 and Ares(2022)1362925) and provided them in Excel format.
On 28 October 2022, I requested an updated version of this .xlsx document. This request was registered under the case number 2022/6197.
To my knowledge, I have never received a reply to that last request.
I would therefore like to withdraw that request, and submit a new one, asking for all data on the total amount of fines paid per member state per infringement, for the period from 1 January 2012 until the most recently available date.
Sincerely,
Peter Teffer

Dear Mr Teffer,
There must have been a misunderstanding since the following reply was sent out to you on 17 November 2022, closing the case of your request 2022/6197.
We are sorry in case there has been a technical hiccup but on our side the case was closed on that date.
In view of the above, would you still sustain the request below?
Kind regards,

Dear Madam, Sir,
Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, rather than a misunderstanding I am afraid that there has been a technical problem. I have never received that reply from 17 November 2022.
I am still very interested in receiving updated figures. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Peter Teffer
Dear Madam, Sir,
Did you receive my confirmation on 3 November 2025 that I am still very interested in receiving updated figures on the total amount of fines paid per member state per infringement?
