Cool - they paid for their own bureaucracy with a bunch of small fines with no net benefit to society.

The benefit to society largely comes from those who have complied, not the punitive damages from those who haven't.

Click on 'fine' to sort the table by amount. The first 10 in the list are 1.9 billion Euro together.

Both the scope of companies fined, the trade of fines and the size of the fines are potentially orders of magnitude too small to even come close to keeping pace with the greatest violations.
