EAA Fines by EU Country
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been in force since 28 June 2025. Each member state has transposed it into national law with its own fine ranges, enforcement bodies, and procedures. Below is the current picture for all 27 EU countries, with a deep-dive page for each.

How to read these numbers
The EAA covers specific consumer-facing services — online shops, banking, transport ticketing, telecom, e-books, and similar — not every website. If you operate one of these (most ecommerce, booking, and subscription sites do), the fine ranges below apply to you.
Fine ranges are the headline statutory maxima. In practice, most first-offence penalties land far lower than the ceiling, and several countries layer additional risk on top of the regulator fine — France charges €25,000/year extra for missing accessibility statements, Germany allows competitor lawsuits under the Abmahnung system, and Ireland is the only member state with criminal sanctions including possible imprisonment.
The figures here are derived from the official transposition of EU Directive 2019/882. Bulgaria has been referred to the EU Court of Justice for failure to implement EAA. Malta and Cyprus have enacted transposing laws but have not published specific fine amounts in publicly available sources.
