This amount must be proportionate to the severity of the breach, the scale of any loss and any advantage that may be gained, up to a maximum of 0.1% of revenues excluding tax of the preceding financial year, raised to 0.2% in the event of a further violation of the same obligation. Aéroports de Paris has the right to a hearing as part of the procedure initiated by the Minister, and may be represented or assisted. The specifications set out the applicable legal provisions. In addition, the Minister in charge of Civil Aviation and Prefects with police powers over the airports may, after providing formal notice, apply protective measures to Aéroports de Paris’ costs in the event of a “serious and persistent” failure by the Company to meet its obligations under the specifications.
