English translation:subject to a liquidated penality of €5 000 per violation for non-compliance
Explanation:
Liquidated, because it's fixed and final. Non-comminatoire just means it's not just threatened, it's liquidated, fixed and final. No ifs, ands or buts.

AllegroTrans is right, "for non-compliance" is superfluous, given that "per violation" is already there.

neutral  AllegroTrans: it's not "wrong" but it is too wordy and can be said more concisely

  -> Need more context to see if the suggested 'upon a fixed penalty' works. I'm worried about 'upon'.
