66Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out a priori that, on the date of delivery of the present judgment, full compliance with the judgment of 7 May 2009 in Commission v Portugal (C‑530/07, EU:C:2009:292) will have taken place. Accordingly, the penalty payment must be imposed only if the failure to fulfil obligations persists on the date of delivery of the present judgment (see, by analogy, judgment of 15 October 2015 in Commission v Greece, C‑167/14, EU:C:2015:684, paragraph 50 and the case-law cited).
