Abstract: The role of the Court of Justice of the European Union is to correct and not to impose a meaningless punishment, because the union system is founded on dialogue, loyalty and cooperation with its members. However, certain states, for political or legal reasons, refuse to implement the decisions of the Court. Thus, a means of constraint must be found that would accelerate the application of these decisions, this being the system of pecuniary sanctions. In the following, we will consider the system of pecuniary sanctions as having a direct application also in the matter of consumer rights and contractual principles (such as good faith, transparency, fairness).

This paper aims to analyze pecuniary sanctions in relation to the conduct of the Member States towards the decisions of the CJEU.

Keywords: Monetary sanctions, coercion, CJUE, remedy.
