of 31 May 2007

on the fees and charges levied by the European Aviation Safety Agency

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(5)

The fees levied by the Agency should not jeopardize 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.

(6) While civil aviation safety should be the prime concern,
the Agency should nevertheless take full account of cost
efficiency when conducting the tasks incumbent on it.

territories of the Member States should not be a discri-
minatory factor. Consequently, the travel costs related to
the certification tasks carried out on behalf of such
undertakings should be aggregated and divided between
the applicants.

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

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.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of

Commission Regulation (EC) No 488/2005 (2) established
the fees and charges to be levied by the European
Aviation Safety Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’).

The revenues of 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, of the
fees paid by applicants for certificates and approvals
issued, maintained or amended by the Agency, and of
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 and in euro.
They should be set in a transparent, fair and uniform
manner.

(10)

Interested parties should be consulted prior to any modi-
fication of fees. Moreover, the Agency should regularly
provide interested parties with information on how and
on what basis the fees are calculated. Such information
should provide interested parties with an insight into the
costs incurred by the Agency and its productivity.

compensation for the services it provides, including the supply
of goods.

(e)

‘travel costs’ means the transport costs, the costs of accom-
modation and meals, the incidental expenses and the travel
allowances paid to staff in the context of certification tasks;

(f)

‘real cost’ means the expenditure actually incurred by the
Agency.

CHAPTER II

FEES

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.

It determines in particular the matters for which fees and
charges referred to in Article 48(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1592/2002 are due, the amount of those fees and charges
and the way in which they are to be paid.

2.
The Agency shall distinguish among its revenue and
expenditure those which are attributable to certification tasks.
For this purpose:

Article 2

For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions
shall apply:

(a)

‘fees’ means the amounts levied by the Agency and payable
by applicants to obtain, maintain or amend the certificates
referred to in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002
which are issued, maintained or amended by the Agency;

(b) ‘charges’ means the amounts levied by the Agency and

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 certi-
fication tasks in accordance with the Financial regulation of the
Agency.
