Article 7

At the request of the applicant and with the agreement of the Executive Director of the Agency, a certification task may exceptionally be carried out as follows:

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.

2.   The issue, maintenance or amendment of a certificate shall be subject to prior payment of the full amount of the fee due, unless agreed differently between the Agency and the applicant.

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. When, on demand of the applicant, the Agency starts again a certification tasks previously interrupted, this task shall be charged as a new project.

Article 9
