Article 4 Payment of fees or charges

The Agency shall establish the terms of payment of fees and charges, outlining under which conditions the Agency charges for certification tasks and services. The Agency shall publish the terms on its website.

The applicant shall pay the amount due in full, within 30 calendar days from the date on which the invoice is notified to the applicant.

Where payment of an invoice has not been received by the Agency after the time period referred to in paragraph 2, the Agency may charge interest for each calendar day of delay.

The interest rate shall be the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union, in force on the first calendar day of the month in which the due date falls, increased by eight percentage points.
