Claim 14:
15. An assembly for an electrochemical system, the assembly comprising:
a separator plate with at least one layer, and
a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) comprising:
an electrochemically active region,
a frame-like reinforcing layer surrounding the electrochemically active region, and
at least one tab for positioning the MEA relative to the separator plate and/or for fastening the MEA to the separator plate,

wherein the at least one layer of the separator plate having has a first flat side and a second flat side opposite the first flat side,
wherein the tab is connected at one side to the frame-like reinforcing layer and a free end of the tab is arranged on the side of the second flat side of the at least one layer of the separator plate,
wherein the frame-like reinforcing layer is arranged on the first flat side of the at least one layer of the separator plate,
wherein the tab is formed integrally with the frame-like reinforcing layer,
wherein the frame-like reinforcing layer comprises two film layers, and the tab is formed by at least one of the two film layers, and
wherein the tab defines a cutout in one of the two film layers of the frame-like reinforcing layer, the cutout being covered by a further film layer of the frame-like reinforcing layer.
