Well, 3 * 365 is roughly 1000, so it comes to about 1000 million euros a year, or 1/12 of their profit. They can afford it, but (a) it's a big chunk, and I doubt they really want to, and (b) I think the commission would get tired of just receiving the payments and eventually stiffen the punishment, raising the fine and/or adding something worse.
