Appropriate remedies in cases of non-payment should be laid down such as the termination of the related application processes, invalidation of related approvals, prevention of any further provision of certification tasks or services to the same applicant, and recovery of the outstanding amount through available means.

| (11) | The industry should enjoy good financial visibility and be able to anticipate the cost of the fees and charges it will be required to pay. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure a balance between overall expenditure incurred by the Agency in carrying out certification tasks and services provided, and overall income from the fees and charges it levies. In accordance with provisions of the Framework Financial Regulation (3), fees and charges should be set at the level such to avoid a deficit or a significant accumulation of surplus. It should therefore be mandatory to review the levels of fees and charges if a significant deficit or surplus becomes recurrent on the basis of the Agency’s financial results and forecasts. |

The fees and charges will need to be adjusted to meet that financial requirement. |

(1)  Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 of 3 August 2012 laying down implementing rules for the airworthiness and environmental certification of aircraft and related products, parts and appliances, as well as for the certification of design and production organisations (OJ L 224, 21.8.2012, p. 1.).

(2)  For Derivatives involving Substantial Changes(s) to the Type Design, as described in Subpart B in Section A of the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 748/2012, the respective Type Certificate or Restricted Type Certificate fee, as defined in Table 1, shall apply.

(3)  For Supplemental Type Certificates involving Substantial Changes (s) as defined in Subpart B in Section A of the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 748/2012, the respective Type Certificate or Restricted Type Certificate fee, as defined in Table 1, shall apply.

(4)  For significant Major Changes, involving Substantial Change(s) as defined in Subpart B in Section A of the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 748/2012, the respective Type Certificate or Restricted Type Certificate fee, as defined in Table 1, shall apply.

(5)  The fees set out in this Table shall not apply to minor Changes and Repairs carried out by Design Organisations in accordance with Part 21A.263(c)(2) of Subpart J in Section A of the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 748/2012.

(6)  For freighter versions of an aircraft having their own type certificate, a coefficient of 0,85 is applied to the fee for the equivalent passenger version.

(7)  For holders of multiple Type Certificates and/or multiple Restricted Type Certificates, a reduction to the annual fee is applied to the second and subsequent Type Certificates, or Restricted Type Certificates, in the same category as defined by MTOW or by value of parts and appliances as shown in the following table:

| Product in identical category | Reduction applied to flat fee |
| --- | --- |
| 1st | 0  % |
| 2nd | 10  % |
| 3rd | 20  % |
| 4th | 30  % |

(8)  For aircraft of which less than 50 examples are registered worldwide, continued airworthiness activities shall be charged on an hourly basis, at the hourly rate set out in Part II (1) of Annex I, up to the level of the fee for the relevant category as defined by MTOW or by value of parts and appliances. The annual flat fee is applicable unless the certificate holder provides evidence that less than 50 samples are registered worldwide. For products, parts and appliances which are not aircraft, the limitation concerns the number of aircraft on which the product, part or appliance in question is installed.

(9)  The turnover taken into account is the turnover related to activities under the scope of the agreement.

(10)  Commission Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 of 20 November 2003 on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks (OJ L 315, 28.11.2003, p. 1.).

(11)  The fee to be paid shall be composed of the flat fee based on the number of staff related plus the flat fee(s) based on technical rating.

(12)  For organisations holding several A and/or B ratings, only the highest fee shall be charged. For organisations holding one or several C and/or D ratings, every rating shall be charged the ‘C rating’ fee.

(13)  The fee to be paid shall be composed of the flat fee plus the flat fee(s) based on technical rating.

(14)  For organisations holding several A ratings, only the highest fee shall be charged.

(*1)  including travel costs within the Member States

(15)  This is a non-exhaustive list of tasks. The list of tasks in this Part is subject to periodical revision. Non-inclusion of a task to this Part should not be automatically construed as indicating that the task cannot be performed by the European Aviation Safety Agency.

(*2)  Excluding travel costs

(*3)  
  ‘Significant’ is defined in paragraph 21A.101 (b) of the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 748/2012 (and similarly in FAA 14CFR 21.101 (b)).

(*4)  For the definitions of ‘basic’, ‘non-basic’, ‘level 1’, ‘level 2’, ‘critical component’ and ‘Certificating Authority’, see the applicable bilateral agreement under which the validation takes place.

(*5)  Automatic acceptance criteria by EASA for level 2 major changes are defined in the applicable bilateral agreement under which the validation takes place.
