Sources disagree — the text comparison and the amending act's instructions found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Article 48g is newly added, setting out that ESMA may impose periodic penalty payments to compel a person to end an infringement or to comply with requests for information, investigations, or on-site inspections referenced in other articles.
The provision specifies that such payments must be effective and proportionate, imposed per day of delay, and calculated at 3% of average daily turnover (or 2% of average daily income for natural persons) from a date stated in the decision, for a maximum of six months after which ESMA reviews the measure.
