Conveniently they're allowed to fine offenders up to 4% of global turnover and it's not like there's a shortage of offenders.

Surely there is a way to get this "machine" started and use the money from previous fines to fund future enforcement?

I'm speculating, but I highly doubt that fine money goes back to regulation efforts in full.
