European companies get fined the same as any other companies.

Well within the constraints they set out which exclude a hell of a lot of European companies.

(I am in Europe for reference, this is not an external perspective)

https://www.enforcementtracker.com/?insights shows breakdown by country, type, industry sector. "Highest fines: individual" top 10 list is all international companies (Meta, Amazon, TikTok, LinkedIn, Uber) and those make the news. Smaller European companies hardly make the news.
