In the case of campsite service, the ecological criteria should be divided into criteria, each of which must be complied with, and criteria, a fixed proportion of which must be complied with.

(4)

The ecological criteria, as well as the related assessment and verification requirements, should be valid for a period of three years.

(5)

As regards the fees relating to applications for and use of the eco-label by micro-enterprises, as defined in Commission Recommendation 96/280/EC of 3 April 1996 concerning the definition of small and medium-sized enterprisesf2, it is appropriate, in order to take account of the limited resources of micro-enterprises and their particular importance within this product group, to provide for reductions additional to those provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 and Article 5 of Commission Decision 2000/728/EC of 10 November 2000 establishing the application and annual fees of the Community eco-labelf3.
