Article 192

Decisions of the Council or of the Commission which impose a pecuniary obligation on persons other than States shall be enforceable .

Enforcement shall be governed by the rules of civil procedure in force in the State in the territory of which it is carried out . The order for its enforcement shall be appended to the decision , without other formality than verification of the authenticity of the decision , by the national authority which the Government of each Member State shall designate for this purpose and shall make known to the Commission and to the Court of Justice .

When these formalities have been completed on application by the party concerned , the latter may proceed to enforcement in accordance with the national law , by bringing the matter directly before the competent authority .

Enforcement may be suspended only by a decision of the Court of Justice . However , the courts of the country concerned shall have jurisdiction over complaints that enforcement is being carried out in an irregular manner .
