It does seem odd that they've announced this, but not the penalties that websites can expect for non compliance.

There's rumours that it will be enforced by way of a fine of up to a million pounds and the site being blocked, but nothing official yet.

I hope that they will take into account the turnover of any sites found to be in breach. A million pounds is nothing to the likes of Facebook, but would be detrimental to a small local community site (who may well not have the support of backend legal staff etc).
