Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
Article 93: Measures the AI Office can require of model providers
Article 93 lets the Commission require a general purpose AI model provider to take specific action: comply with its obligations, take mitigation measures where a systemic risk has been identified, or restrict, withdraw or recall the model from the market. The provider can offer commitments instead, and the Commission can make them binding.
Maximum penalty
Failure to comply with a measure required under Article 93 is separately fineable under Article 101(1)(c), up to 15 million euro or 3 percent of worldwide annual turnover.

Plain reading
What Article 93 actually requires
This is the article that turns a finding into an outcome, and it is faster than a fine. The Commission may require a provider to take appropriate measures to comply with Articles 53 and 54, to implement mitigation measures where an evaluation under Article 92 has raised a serious and substantiated concern of systemic risk at Union level, or to restrict the making available of the model, to withdraw it or to recall it. A provider that receives a request may offer commitments through structured dialogue, and the Commission may make those commitments binding and declare that there are no further grounds for action. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1755, published in the Official Journal on 21 July 2026, sets out the procedure, including interim measures. The Commission is required to respect the rights of the defence and to give the provider the opportunity to be heard.
Withdrawal and recall are commercially heavier than any fine in the Act. A 3 percent turnover fine is survivable; being ordered off the Union market is not the same category of event.
The commitment route is the one most providers will take, and it is the reason enforcement statistics will understate activity. A structured dialogue that ends in binding commitments produces no fine and may produce no public decision, which is why this tracker records commitments as an action type in their own right.
The Irish authority's 2024 undertaking from X over Grok training data is the closest analogue on this tracker under another instrument: the regulator got the outcome it wanted in under a month with no finding of infringement and no penalty.

Questions about Article 93
Can the EU ban an AI model from the market?
Yes. Article 93(1)(c) allows the Commission to require a provider to restrict the making available of a general purpose AI model on the market, to withdraw it or to recall it. That power became applicable on 2 August 2026 and has not yet been used.
