(13) Member States should not be prevented from maintaining or introducing in their national law higher maximum turnover-based fines for widespread infringements and widespread infringements with a Union dimension. It should also be possible for Member States to base such fines on the trader’s worldwide turnover, or to extend the rules on fines to other infringements not covered by provisions of this Directive related to Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2394. The requirement to set the fine at a level of not less than 4 % of the trader’s annual turnover should not apply to any additional Member State rules on periodic penalty payments, such as daily fines, for non-compliance with any decision, order, interim measure, trader’s commitment or other measure with the aim of bringing to an end the infringement.
