Article 48 outlines the procedure for imposing penalties by the Authority. Penalties must align with the Law and are based on a classification of violations and corresponding penalty scales issued via a Board of Directors' resolution. A core principle is that the penalty must be proportionate to the violation. The penalty is formally imposed by a decision from the governor of the Authority or an authorised person. This decision may include a provision for its content to be published in a local newspaper at the violator's expense, but only after the decision has become final.
