69In the present case, it must be found that, notwithstanding the fact that Romania cooperated with the Commission services throughout the pre-litigation procedure and made efforts which enabled it, in the course of the proceedings, to put an end to the infringement complained of, all the legal and factual circumstances culminating in the breach of obligations established — namely, the total failure, by the expiry of the period prescribed in the reasoned opinion and even at the date on which the present action was brought, to notify the measures necessary to transpose Directive 2015/849 — indicate that if the future repetition of similar infringements of EU law is to be effectively prevented, a dissuasive measure must be adopted, such as a lump sum payment (see, to that effect, by analogy with Article 260(2) TFEU, judgments of 11 December 2012, Commission v Spain, C‑610/10, EU:C:2012:781, paragraph 142, and of 4 December 2014, Commission v Sweden, C‑243/13, not published, EU:C:2014:2413, paragraph 63).
