The EU needs to act in order to ensure that all its citizens are treated equally wherever they live, move or travel in the EU.
In this context, such equal treatment means that non-residents should not be in a more favourable position than residents, because they would be able to escape paying a financial penalty by going back to their home countries.

Good to know it's all about freedom and fairness and not at all about collecting as much revenue as possible
