Wo das Bußgeld aufhört. (German).
Five documented cases and what they share, eight appointed-officer roles with eight different deadlines, and the 2026 calendar of which four dates have already passed.
The problem this is about
In this industry sanctions end with individuals: a final custodial sentence after a plant fire, fines against three companies and three individuals in a cartel case, and a criminal range of three months to ten years under German foreign trade law.
What matters in proceedings is the organisation, not the single decision — and a steel plant runs eight appointed-officer roles with eight separate deadlines and eight separate authorities.
What is inside
- Five cases from four areas of law, and the one thing they share
- Eight appointed-officer roles, eight deadlines, eight authorities
- The 2026 calendar: CBAM, free allocation, the 50 % out-of-quota duty, melt and pour
- Why the most expensive cartel offence does not look like one
- Three pieces of evidence that must exist before presentation to customs
For steel production, processing and trading alike.
