Calculation of fines
Article 4
1. A basic fine of 0,6 % of the total average turnover of the recognised organisation, as determined in accordance with Article 9, shall be initially assigned to each infringement established on the basis of Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 391/2009. 2. For the calculation of the individual fine for each infringement the basic fine referred to in paragraph 1 shall be increased or reduced, on the basis of the seriousness and of the effects of the infringement, in particular the extent to which safety or the protection of the environment have been compromised, in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 respectively. 3. The maximum amount of each individual fine shall not exceed 1,8 % of the total average turnover of the recognised organisation. 4. Where one action or omission of the recognised organisation forms the sole basis of two or more infringements under Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 identified in accordance with Article 3(1)(a) of this Regulation, the concurrent individual fine shall be the highest of the individual fines calculated for the underlying infringements. 5. The total fine imposed on a recognised organisation in one decision shall be the sum of all individual fines resulting from the application of paragraphs 1 to 4 of this Article, without prejudice to the maximum ceiling established under Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 391/2009, as detailed Article 8 of this Regulation.
