European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2002 on

Whereas:

The amount of the fees to be paid by the applicant
should depend on the complexity of the task carried
out by the Agency and the workload involved.

The industry should enjoy good financial visibility and be
able to anticipate the cost of the fees 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 overall
income from the fees it levies. It should therefore be
possible to review the levels of
fees annually on the
basis of the Agency’s financial results and forecasts.

The revenues of the European Aviation Safety Agency
(hereinafter the Agency) consist of a contribution from
the Community and from any European third country
which has entered into the agreements referred to in
Article 55 of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002, the fees
paid by applicants for certificates and approvals issued,
maintained or amended by the Agency, and charges for
publications, handling of appeals, training and any other
service provided by the Agency.

The Agency’s revenue and expenditure should be in
balance.

Fees and charges referred to in this Regulation should be
demanded and levied by the Agency only, in euro. They
should be set in a transparent, fair and uniform manner.

The fees levied by the Agency should not jeopardise the
competitiveness of the European industries concerned.
Furthermore,
they should be established on a basis
which takes due account of the ability of small under-
takings to pay. Moreover, the geographical
location of
the undertakings in the territories of the Member States
should not be a discriminatory factor.

The applicant should be informed, as far as possible, of
the foreseeable amount to be paid for the service which
will be provided and the way in which payment must be
made before provision of the service starts. The criteria
for determining the amount to be paid should be clear,
uniform and public. Where it is impossible to determine
should be

shall be based on the Agency’s previous financial results,
its
estimate of expenditure and revenue and its forward working
plan.

4.
In order to avoid any discrimination between undertakings
situated in the territories of the Member States, the transport
costs related to the certification tasks carried out on behalf of
such undertakings shall be aggregated and uniformly divided
between the applicants.

5.
The Annex shall be re-examined, and revised if necessary,
within 14 months following the date of entry into force of this
Regulation. It may be revised annually thereafter.

The amounts and coefficients set out in the Annex shall be
published in the Agency’s official publication.

Article 7

The fees shall consist of one or more of the following elements:

(a) a fixed part, the amount of which shall vary according to
the complexity of the task carried out by the Agency; the
different values of the fixed part and of the coefficients
which affect them are set out in the Annex;

(b) a variable part proportional

to the workload involved,
expressed as a number of hours multiplied by an hourly
rate calculated in accordance with Article 9(2); the amount
of the hourly rate is specified in the Annex;

(c)

the amount equal to the specific costs arising out of a
certification task, which shall be recovered in full at real
cost.

For operations which only give rise to the payment of a

concerned starts, the balance being payable in exchange for

6.
For tasks which give rise to the payment of a variable part,
30 % of the total amount of the fee due (including any fixed
part) shall be payable before the task concerned starts, and 40 %
of the amount shall be payable as the task proceeds, in quarterly
instalments. The balance of 30 % shall be payable in exchange

approvals shall be payable in accordance with a timetable

such certificates and approvals are still valid.

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.

8.
If, after a first check, the Agency decides not to accept an
application, any fees already paid shall be returned to the

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, the balance of any
fees due shall be payable in full at the time the Agency stops
working.

The scale of fees applied by the Agency, and the terms of
payment, shall be communicated to applicants when they
submit their applications.

From 1 June 2005, the fees shall be demanded and levied by
the Agency only.

For all certification tasks which give rise to the payment of
4.
a variable part, the Agency shall provide the applicant with a
quote which must be approved by the applicant before the task
concerned starts. The quote 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

Member States shall not levy fees for certification tasks, even if
they carry out those tasks on behalf of the Agency.

The Agency shall reimburse the Member States for the certifi-

— Certification specifications (CS) referred to in this Annex are those adopted pursuant to Article 14(2) of Regulation
(EC) No 1592/2002 and published in the Agency’s official publication in accordance with EASA Decision 2003/8 of
30 October 2003 (www.easa.eu.int).

Explanatory note

— For the purposes of this Annex:

— ‘Value of equipment’, in Tables (i), (iii), (iv) and (v), refers to the relevant manufacturer’s list price.

— ‘Value of activities’

(x) and (xiii), means: {number of active technical employees in the
organisation whose work is strictly relevant to the activity subject to the approval} * {100*1 400 hours = EUR
140 000/technical employee} unless applicant provides evidence that a different hourly rate should be applied.

in Tables (vi),

(viii),

— The number of active technical employees is independent of the number of individual sites that are covered by the

approval, is taken to include subcontractors, and is to be provided by the applicant.

— Administrative staff within the applicant organisation will not be included in the calculation of the value of

activities.

— Subcontractors’ technical and administrative staff (whose work is relevant to the activity) will not be included in
the calculation of the value of the applicant’s activities, if the subcontractors have already been granted their own
approval.

— Applicants and holders of Agency approvals are required to supply a signed certificate from an authorised
representative of the organisation concerned in order for the Agency to be able to determine the corresponding
fee category.
