Financial sanctions against Member States for infringement of Euro-pean Union law can amount to millions of euros. They are imposed by the Court of Justice of the European Union, either as a periodic penalty payment or a lump sum. The paper presents the procedure for enforcing the Court’s judgements and discusses the interpretation of Article 260 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in the case-law of this institution: from a precedent allowing the joint imposition of a periodic penalty payment and a lump sum, by changing the method of calculating both penalties as a result of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, to the interpretation of the expression failu-re to fulfil its obligation to notify transposing measures referred to in Article 260 (3) TFEU.
