Original text from EU Commission:
"Infringements of the following provisions shall, in accordance with paragraph 2, be subject to administrative fines up 
to 10 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 2 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding 
financial year, whichever is higher”

-> Administrative fines _up to_ 10M (or 2% if your 2% is higher than 10M). 

It’s a cap, not a minimum.
