Well, not for public bodies at least: “ Administrative fines cannot be imposed on public organisations, such as the government or state-owned companies, municipalities and parishes” [1]
But luckily this sort of thing never happens in the public sector. Except for when it does: https://yle.fi/a/74-20094950
That's interesting, because if you go here https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ there are a lot of public institutions being hit with fines (if they are enforced it's another issue) - search for Municipality for example
However I don't see any municipality in Finland getting fines
Indeed, but 'the EU' isn't the one enforcing it or leveraging fines - it's up to national bodies/governments and law enforcement.
From that link we can see that the UK fined its own Ministry of Defence 400,000 EUR.
However it appears that Finish public bodies are deemed above reproach by their government.
