Article 24Supervision and penalties

1. The supervisory authority or authorities responsible for monitoring the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 shall also be responsible for monitoring and enforcing the application of Articles 7 to 11 of this Directive as far as data-protection matters are concerned, in accordance with the relevant provisions in Chapters VI, VII and VIII of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

The upper limit for administrative fines referred to in Article 83(5) of that Regulation shall be applicable to infringements of Articles 7 to 11 of this Directive.

2. The authorities referred to in paragraph 1 and other national competent authorities shall, where relevant, cooperate in the enforcement of this Directive within the remit of their respective competences, in particular where questions on the impact of automated monitoring systems or automated decision-making systems on persons performing platform work arise. For that purpose, those authorities shall exchange relevant information with each other, including information obtained in the context of inspections or investigations, either upon request or at their own initiative.

3. National competent authorities shall cooperate through exchange of relevant information and best practices on the implementation of the legal presumption, with the support of the Commission.

4. Where persons performing platform work perform platform work in a Member State other than that in which the digital labour platform is established, the competent authorities of those Member States shall exchange information for the purpose of enforcing this Directive.

5. Without prejudice to the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall lay down the rules on penalties, applicable to infringements of national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions of this Directive or of the relevant provisions already in force concerning the rights which are within the scope of this Directive. The penalties shall be effective, dissuasive and proportionate to the nature, gravity and duration of the undertaking’s infringement and to the number of workers affected.

6. In the case of infringements related to digital labour platforms’ refusal to comply with a legal ruling determining the correct employment status of persons performing platform work, Member States shall provide for penalties, which may include financial penalties.
