Consequently, the leading competent body is not in a position to decide on fees which are set according to the legislation of other Member States. The role of the leading competent body regarding fees will merely consist of informing the organisation of the total amount and the individual fees to be paid to the national competent bodies involved in the registration procedure. The leading competent body will also inform the organisation that all competent bodies involved charge the fees resulting from registering the national sites involved in a corporate registration procedure directly to the respective national sites of the applicant organisation.
