Under art 228 of the treaty, introduced by the Maastricht treaty in 1993, the Commission may bring the before the ECJ a member state which has failed to comply with a previous judgement of the court. The court may then order the defaulting member state to pay an appropriate penalty. In 1992 the court issued a judgement against Greece inter alia for breach of the 1975 waste framework directive, relating to the uncontrolled tipping of waste at a site in Crete. By a judgement in July 2000 (Commission v Greece C-387/97) the ECJ ordered Greece to pay a fine of 20,000 Euros a day from the date of judgement until compliance with the directive. Greece therefore has the dubious honour of being the first member state to be fined in this way, and the judgement confirms the approach of the Commission in their calculation of suggested penalties.
