Article 3 

1. The fees shall ensure a total revenue which is sufficient to cover all the costs arising out of the certification tasks, including costs arising from the related continuing oversight.
2. The Agency shall distinguish among its revenue and expenditure those which are attributable to certification tasks. For this purpose:
(a) the fees levied by the Agency shall be kept in a separate account and shall be the subject of a separate accounting procedure;
(b) the Agency shall draw up analytical accounts of its revenue and expenditure.
3. The fees shall be the subject of an overall provisional estimate by the beginning of each financial year. This estimate shall be based on the Agency’s previous financial results, its estimate of expenditure and revenue and its forward working plan.If at the end of a financial year the overall revenue from fees, which constitute an assigned revenue in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002, exceeds the overall cost of certification tasks, the excess shall be used to finance certification tasks in accordance with the Financial regulation of the Agency.
Article 4 
The fee to be paid by the applicant for a given certification task shall consist of:

((a)) a flat amount which shall vary according to the task concerned in order to reflect the cost incurred by the Agency in carrying out this task. The different amounts of the flat fee are set out in Parts I and III of the Annex; or
((b)) a variable amount proportional to the workload involved, expressed as a number of hours multiplied by the hourly fee. The hourly fee shall reflect all costs arising from certification tasks. The certification tasks which are charged on an hourly basis as well as the applicable hourly fee are specified in Part II of the Annex.
Article 5 

1. The amounts set out in the Annex shall be published in the Agency’s official publication.
2. These amounts shall be annually indexed to the inflation rate set out in Part V of the Annex.
3. The Annex shall be revised annually if necessary.
4. The Agency shall provide the Commission, the Management Board and the advisory body of interested parties established in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 annually with information on the components serving as a basis for determining the level of the fees. This information shall notably consist in a cost breakdown related to previous and next years. The Agency shall also provide the Commission, the Management Board and the advisory body of interested parties, twice per year, with the performance information set out in Part VI of the Annex and the performance indicators referred to in paragraph 5.
5. Within six months from the entry into force of this Regulation the Agency shall, after consulting the advisory body of interested parties, adopt a set of performance indicators taking notably into account the information listed in Part VI of the Annex.
6. The Agency shall consult the advisory body of interested parties before giving an opinion on any change in the fees. During this consultation, the Agency shall explain the reasons for any proposal for modifying the level of fees.
Article 6 
Without prejudice to Article 4, where a certification task is conducted, fully or in part, outside the territories of the Member States, the fee invoiced to the applicant shall include the corresponding travel costs outside those territories, according to the formula:
d = f + v
where:dfee dueffee corresponding to the task carried out, as set out in the Annexvadditional travel costs, at real cost

((a)) by assigning categories of staff to it which the Agency would not normally assign to it under its standard procedures, and/or
((b)) by assigning such human resources to it that the operation is performed faster than under the Agency’s standard procedures.
In such a case, an exceptional increase shall be applied to the fee levied in order to cover all of the costs incurred by the Agency in meeting the special request.
Article 8 

1. The fee shall be payable by the applicant. It shall be payable in EUR. The applicant shall ensure that the Agency is paid the full amount due. Possible bank charges related to the payment shall be paid by the applicant.

In the event of non payment, the Agency may revoke the relevant certificate after having given formal warning to the applicant.
3. Amounts less than or equal to EUR 1 000 shall be paid when the application is filled, in one instalment.
4. The scale of fees applied by the Agency and the terms of payment shall be communicated to applicants when they submit their applications.
5. For all certification tasks which give rise to the payment of fees calculated on an hourly basis, the Agency may, on request, provide the applicant with an estimate. The estimate shall be amended by the Agency if it appears that the task is simpler or can be carried out faster than initially foreseen or, on the contrary, if it is more complex and takes longer to carry out than the Agency could reasonably have foreseen.
6. If, after a first check, the Agency decides not to accept an application, any fees already paid shall be returned to the applicant, with the exception of an amount to cover the administrative costs of handling the application. That amount shall be equivalent to two times the hourly fee set out in Part II of the Annex.
7. If a certification task has to be interrupted by the Agency because the applicant has insufficient resources or fails to comply with the applicable requirements, or because the applicant decides to abandon its application or to postpone its project, the balance of any fees due, calculated on an hourly basis but not exceeding the applicable flat fee, shall be payable in full at the time the Agency stops working. The relevant number of hours shall be invoiced at the hourly fee set out in Part II of the Annex.
