(1) The competent authority shall publish on its website at least any administrative penalties or other measures imposed for breach of the provisions of this Act, or of the directives or regulations made under it, in respect of which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or have expired, as soon as reasonably practicable immediately after the person concerned has been informed of that decision, including information concerning the type and nature of the breach and the identity of the person on whom the administrative penalty or other measure has been imposed.

(2) The competent authority shall publish on its website the administrative penalties or other measures imposed on an anonymous basis, and in a manner which is in conformity with Maltese law, in any of the following circumstances:

(a) where, the administrative penalty or other measure is imposed on a natural person, the required publication of personal data is shown to be disproportionate by an obligatory prior assessment of the proportionality of such publication;

(b) where publication would jeopardise the stability of financial markets or an ongoing criminal investigation; or

(c) where publication would cause disproportionate damage to the institutions or individuals involved.

(3) The competent authority shall ensure that any publication in accordance with sub-article (1) is of proportionate duration and that it remains on its website for a minimum period of five (5) years after all rights of appeal have been exhausted or have expired.
