(4) A service provider shall – (a) where the service is not in conformity with the applicable accessibility requirements, take the corrective measures necessary to bring that service into conformity, (b) where the service is not compliant with the applicable accessibility requirements, immediately inform the competent national authorities of the Member States in which that service is provided to that effect, and give details, in particular, of the non-compliance and of the corrective measures taken, (c) further to a request in a notice given to the service provider by the relevant compliance authority, giving reasons for the request, provide the relevant compliance authority with all information, in paper or electronic form, necessary to demonstrate the conformity of the service with the applicable accessibility requirements, and (d) cooperate with the relevant compliance authority, at its request, on any action taken to bring the service into compliance with the applicable accessibility requirements. (5) Where the service provider concerned fails to comply within such time as is specified in the request with a request under paragraph (4)(c), the relevant compliance authority may give the service provider a direction requiring the service provider to, within such period and in such manner as is specified in the direction and as the relevant compliance authority considers reasonable, provide the information concerned.

Legal Foundation
The EAA (Directive 2019/882/EU) requires penalties to be effective, proportionate, and dissuasive (Article 30). Member states transposed this with varying structures — from fixed caps of €15,000 to uncapped percentage-of-turnover penalties. Figures shown are maximum exposure; actual penalties depend on severity, duration, and national regulator discretion.
