The European Commission has closed its public consultation on future procedural rules for fines under the AI Act. According to ad-hoc-news.de, the deadline for submissions ended on 9 November 2026 at 23:59 Brussels time. The subject was a draft implementing regulation on Articles 75c and 75d of the AI Act, available for review since 12 October 2026. It concerns enforcement against providers of directly supervised general-purpose AI models, such as ChatGPT or Gemini.
What changes – and what does not
According to the source, the draft creates no new sanction offences and does not change the maximum penalty amounts. The focus was on formal processes and procedural rights: the scope and timing of file access after preliminary official findings, and rules on actions that interrupt limitation periods. The regular limitation period is currently five years; investigation or enforcement steps by the AI Office can interrupt this period, subject to an absolute cap of ten years.
Timeline
After evaluating the submissions, the Commission reportedly intends to adopt the final implementing regulation in Q4 2026.
Context
The report describes procedural questions; substantive tightening is not mentioned in it.
