Enforcement is one dedicated organization per country. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Sanctions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula... for the possible sanctions such an organization could apply. It can be pretty minor.
There's a proposed EU law which is pretty much terrible. GPDR is great (IMO).

I can't speak for all of Europe, but in Northern Europe this would be very unlikely to happen. The governments and agencies aren't flawless here either, but at least they are quite honest and uncorrupted.
