I wonder what they do with this money actually. Same as is done with tax money?

The money paid to the European Court goes back into the EU budget.
And lowers the amount member states have to pay (it does not increase the budget)
Oh that's an interesting detail. That way the EU doesn't enrich itself but it ensures that such "profits" are equally divided among member states. (Because it all saves them money they would otherwise have had to pay.) Nice to know.
Okay, thanks for the reply
Yep, I it does.
Okay, thanks
Also, my comment didn't make much sense, I must have missed a word or something.
