"In terms of the seriousness of the 'crimes' they seem to rank somewhere between not handing your homework in on time and failing to tie your shoes laces properly"
What can be said though is
1. Germany will of course pay the penalty, and adjust its behaviour accordingly
2. The EU court obviously works, and is not intimidated or bribed, so nothing is being swept under the carpet
3. Germany will not enter history to have sent away refugees needing help
(which is despite problems something we can be proud of, even if i did not vote for Merkel)
Other main parties in Germany would have acted likewise. (Not the smallish nationalsocialist AfD Farage is a fan of, of course.)
And ... Germany always wins when it comes down to penalties.
