If a Member State fails to enact EU legislation into national law within the required deadline, the Commission may ask the Court for financial sanctions to be imposed at the first referral to Court, without having to return to the Court for a second ruling.

Se uno Stato membro non recepisce la normativa dell'UE nel diritto nazionale entro il termine fissato, la Commissione può chiedere alla Corte d'imporgli sanzioni pecuniarie fin dalla prima sentenza, senza dover avviare un secondo procedimento dinanzi alla Corte.

Le sanzioni, che sono stabilite in funzione della gravità e della durata dell'infrazione, consistono in una penale giornaliera che va versata dalla data della sentenza (nell'ipotesi che lo Stato membro non abbia ancora sanato la situazione) alla data di completamento dell'iter di attuazione.

Environment: European Commission asks Court to impose financial penalties on
Italy
The European Commission is referring Italy to the EU Court of Justice for its
failure to include rules on animal testing into its domestic legislation.
This is an issue on which there is considerable public concern, and Directive
2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes was to be
enacted in national legislation by 10 November 2012.
On the recommendation of Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik, the
European Commission is asking the Court to impose penalty payments of EUR 150
787 per day.
If a Member State fails to enact EU legislation into national law within the
required deadline, the Commission may ask the Court for financial sanctions to
be imposed at the first referral to Court, without having to return to the Court
for a second ruling.
The penalties take into account the seriousness and duration of the
infringement. They consist of daily penalty payments to be paid from the date of
the judgment – assuming the Member State is still not compliant – until the
enactment process is completed.
The Commission sent a letter of formal notice to Italy on 31 January 2013 and
a reasoned opinion on 21 June 2013.
Italy replied that enactment was expected by December 2013, before postponing
enactment to February 2014.
Italy sent the Commission further information on 13 December 2013, but the
Commission is concerned that further delays cannot be . A Court summons is
therefore being sent.
