The law states "up to 10,000,000 EUR" which is the opposite of minimum I'd say.



The law does not state that. It states €10 million or 2% of gross worldwide revenue -- whichever is higher.


Those are still the maximum, the 10 million is still not the minimum.

The EU could fine a corporation with 10 billion turnover 10$ but they also could fine up to 200 million $. It doesn't mean they have to fine atleast 10 million once you're over the 2% switchover.


You're missing my point -- what you said the law says and what the laws says are different. You're maximum/minimum argument relates to the guy above your post. That additional option of a 2% figure changes the dynamic of how the fines work completely.


The law says “up to” which is what they explained.
