(Joined Cases C-64/18, C-140/18, C-146/18 and C-148/18) (<span class="super note-tag">1</span>)
(References for a preliminary ruling - Article 56 TFEU - Freedom to provide services - Posting of workers - Retention and translation of records of wages - Work permit - Penalties - Proportionality - Fines of a minimum predefined amount - Cumulative - No upper limit - Court costs - Custodial sentence in lieu of a fine)
(2019/C 383/16)
Language of the case: German
Applicants: Zoran Maksimovic (C-64/18), Humbert Jörg Köfler (C-140/18, C-146/18 and C-148/18), Wolfgang Leitner (C-140/18 and C-148/18), Joachim Schönbeck (C-140/18 and C-148/18), Wolfgang Semper (C-140/18 and C-148/18)
Defendant: Bezirkshauptmannschaft Murtal
Intervener: Finanzpolizei
Article 56 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which provides, in respect of non-compliance with labour law obligations in relation to obtaining administrative permits and keeping records on wages, for fines to be imposed:
which may not be lower than a predefined minimum amount;
which apply cumulatively in respect of each worker concerned and without an upper limit;
to which is added a contribution to court costs of 20 % of the amount of the fines if the appeal against the decision imposing those fines is dismissed, and
which are replaced by custodial sentences in the event of non-payment.
