Enforcement decisions, last 12 months
Enforcement comes from the regulator’s own decision or notice, dated by the decision (or, where the regulator prints only that, by its publication), with the company named as the regulator prints it. Decisions against individuals are left out, and so are decisions a regulator dates only by the year; older decisions are on each country page.
