The Court:

2.Declares that, by failing to adopt, by the time of the Court’s examination of the facts, the necessary measures to transpose the provisions of Directive 2019/1 into its domestic law and, therefore to notify those measures to the European Commission, the Republic of Estonia persisted in its failure to fulfil its obligations.
3.Orders the Republic of Estonia to pay the European Commission:
—a lump sum of EUR 400 000;
—in the event that the failure to fulfil obligations established in point 1 of the operative part were to persist on the date of delivery of the present judgment, a daily penalty payment of EUR 3 000 from that date until that Member State has brought that failure to an end.
4.Orders the Republic of Estonia to bear its own costs and to pay those incurred by the European Commission.
