Article 21 Enforcement measures in coordinated actions
1. The competent authorities concerned by the coordinated action shall take within their jurisdiction all necessary enforcement measures against the trader responsible for the widespread infringement or the widespread infringement with a Union dimension to bring about the cessation or prohibition of that infringement.
Where appropriate, they shall impose penalties, such as fines or periodic penalty payments, on the trader responsible for the widespread infringement or the widespread infringement with a Union dimension. The competent authorities may receive from the trader, on the trader's initiative, additional remedial commitments for the benefit of consumers that have been affected by the alleged widespread infringement or the alleged widespread infringement with a Union dimension, or, where appropriate, may seek to obtain commitments from the trader to offer adequate remedies to the consumers that have been affected by that infringement.
Enforcement measures are in particular appropriate where:
(a) an immediate enforcement action is necessary to bring about the swift and effective cessation or prohibition of the infringement;
(b) it is unlikely that the infringement will cease as a result of the commitments proposed by the trader responsible for the infringement;
