Accordingly, first, under Article 58(3) of that directive, Member States are to ensure that where obligations apply to legal persons in the event of a breach of national provisions transposing that directive, sanctions and measures can be applied to the members of the management body and to other natural persons who under national law are responsible for that breach. It does not follow from that provision that the imposition of a penalty on a legal person as an obliged entity is subject to a previous finding that that breach in question was committed by a natural person. On the contrary, the liability of natural persons under national law, is only ancillary and additional to the liability of the legal person concerned under Directive 2015/849.
