Can you afford not to comply?

Regulation (EU) 2024/900 is in force since October 2025. National authorities are building enforcement capacity, and the first cases will set the precedent for everyone. The question is not whether enforcement will come — it's whether you'll be ready when it does.

The enforcement environment

Each EU Member State is designating national authorities with the power to investigate, audit, and sanction non-compliant publishers. These are not advisory bodies — they carry the legal mandate to impose fines of up to 6% of annual worldwide turnover.

The regulatory pattern is predictable: the first year focuses on guidance and awareness. Then come the audits, the complaints from competitors and civil society, and the precedent-setting cases. Organizations that wait for enforcement to start before they act will find that compliance under pressure is far more expensive than compliance by design.

The regulation also includes a public complaint mechanism — anyone can report a publisher for non-compliance. Your competitors, watchdog organizations, journalists, and engaged citizens all have standing to trigger an investigation. Compliance isn't just a regulatory relationship — it's a public one.

6%

of annual worldwide turnover

The maximum penalty under Regulation (EU) 2024/900 for non-compliance. For a company with EUR 5M revenue, that's EUR 300,000.

2–3 hrs

per notice, done manually

Researching requirements, filling in each field correctly, cross-referencing legal text, archiving documents, maintaining 7-year records — per ad.

7 years

of mandatory record retention

Every transparency notice and all related records must be retained for 7 years. Manual filing systems create liability exposure over time.
