Penalty structure
Section 124(1) sets the fine at EUR 200 up to 10 percent of turnover for the previous accounting period, which section 124(6) limits to EUR 300,000 where there was no turnover or the turnover cannot be calculated. Section 124(5) sets EUR 200 to EUR 20,000 for a person who is not a businessperson. A fine may be imposed within two years of the day the breach is found and within four years of the breach (section 124(13)). Where a serious or repeated breach is not removed despite a fine or a protective measure, the Office may prohibit the undertaking from providing networks or services for up to 24 months (section 124(14)). Turnover is the sum of all sales, revenues or income from the sale of goods or services without indirect taxes, plus any financial aid from public sources, and the previous accounting period is the one for which the last regular financial statements were drawn up (section 124(7) and (8)). In supervision the Office may also impose a procedural fine of up to EUR 2,000, also repeatedly, on a person that obstructs supervision by not meeting its duties under section 122(14), among them removing the deficiencies found within the period the Office sets (section 122(18)).

What this law does
Section 54(5) of the Electronic Communications Act reserves the number 116000 in the national numbering plan for reporting cases of missing children. Section 54(6)(b) obliges an undertaking to which the Office assigned the number 116000 on its application to ensure that the services provided through the number are available to end-users with disabilities in line with the relevant technical standards, including when such an end-user travels outside the Member State in which he or she resides.
Article 96(2) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 requires Member States to ensure that end-users with disabilities are able to access services provided through the number 116000 to the greatest extent possible. Section 134 of Act 452/2021 sets as its commencement day, and later days only for sections 84(12), 88, 89 and 116(7) to (10) and (12).
Section 124(1) lets the Office fine a breach of section 54, paragraph 6, between EUR 200 and a maximum of 10 percent of turnover for the previous accounting period. Section 124(5) and (6) set the fine for a person who is not a businessperson at EUR 200 to EUR 20,000 and cap the fine at EUR 300,000 where there was no turnover or the turnover cannot be calculated.
