Since the Commission is not the only Union institution which is entitled to impose fines, other penalties or sanctions, it is necessary to lay down provisions concerning such fines, other penalties or sanctions imposed by other Union institutions and to lay down rules for their recovery which should be equivalent to those applicable to the Commission.
Toisc nach é an Coimisiún an t-aon institiúid amháin de chuid an Aontais a bhfuil sé de cheart aige fíneálacha, pionóis eile nó smachtbhannaí a fhorchur, is gá forálacha a leagan síos a bhaineann leis na fíneálacha, na pionóis eile nó na smachtbhannaí sin arna bhforchur ag institiúidí eile de chuid an Aontais agus rialacha a leagan síos maidir lena n-aisghabháil, rialacha ar cheart a bheith coibhéiseach leo sin is infheidhme maidir leis an gCoimisiún.
