114In addition, it is for the Court, in the exercise of its discretion, to fix the lump sum in an amount appropriate to the circumstances and proportionate to the infringement. Relevant considerations in this respect include factors such as the seriousness of the infringement and the length of time for which the infringement has persisted since the delivery of the judgment establishing it, and the relevant Member State’s ability to pay (see, to that effect, judgments of 2 December 2014, Commission v Italy, C‑196/13, EU:C:2014:2407, paragraphs 117 and 118, and of 14 November 2018, Commission v Greece, C‑93/17, EU:C:2018:903, paragraphs 156, 157 and 158).
