These Regulations comply with the obligations to designate competent authorities, lay down rules on penalties and take measures for the settlement of disputes under Articles 13 to 15 of Regulation (EU) 2015/751 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29th April 2015 on interchange fees for card-based payment transactions (OJ L 123, 19.5.2013, p.1.)
