Overtrædes disse forpligtelser, kan Domstolen på begæring af Rådet, der træffer afgørelse med simpelt flertal, eller Kommissionen — alt efter omstændighederne — afskedige den pågældende fra hans eller hendes stilling i henhold til artikel III-349 eller fratage ham eller hende retten til pension eller andre tilsvarende fordele.  
In the event of any breach of these obligations, the Court of Justice may, on application by the Council, acting by a simple majority, or the Commission, rule that the person concerned be, according to the circumstances, either compulsorily retired in accordance with Article III-349 or deprived of his or her right to a pension or other benefits in its stead.
