(1) The amount of the regulatory fine is not less than five euros, and does not exceed one thousand euros, unless otherwise provided by statute.
(2) If the law threatens to impose a regulatory fine for intentional and negligent action without distinction as to the maximum regulatory fine, the maximum sanction for a negligent action does not exceed half of the maximum regulatory fine imposable.
(3) The significance of the regulatory offence and the charge faced by the perpetrator forms the basis for the assessment of the regulatory fine. The perpetrator's financial circumstances are also taken into account; they however are disregarded as a rule in cases involving negligible regulatory offences.
(4) The regulatory fine exceeds the financial benefit that the perpetrator has obtained from commission of the regulatory offence. If the statutory maximum does not suffice for that purpose, it may be exceeded.
