Summary:
The Court reiterated that the Commission's practice of establishing guidelines (100%, 200%, 300%) for the imposition of penalties, in order to ensure coherence on a national basis, is totally appropriate. The Court added that this policy should not be applied automatically and that the Commission must exercise its discretion and take into account the special circumstances of the claimant.
