Judgment_paragraph 79 · European Commission v Ireland (C-550/18)

79In the present case, it must be found that, notwithstanding the fact that Ireland cooperated with the Commission services throughout the pre-litigation procedure and kept them informed of the progress of the transposition of Directive 2015/849, all the legal and factual circumstances culminating in the breach of obligations established — namely, the fact that, as the date on which the present action was brought, only one transposition measure covering just the provisions of the first subparagraph of Article 30(1) of that directive had been notified and the fact that the final measures transposing Directive 2015/849 entered into force one week before the hearing — 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).
