Article 8 General provisions as regards payment of fees
United Kingdom
Performance of certification tasks is subject to prior payment of the full amount of the fee due, unless the Agency decides otherwise after due consideration of the financial risks involved. The Agency may invoice the fee in one instalment after having received the application or at the start of the annual or surveillance period.
The fee to be paid by the applicant for a given certification task shall consist of one of the following:
a flat fee as set out in Part I of the Annex;
a variable fee.
The variable fee referred to in point (b) of paragraph 2 shall be established by multiplying the actual number of working hours by the hourly rate set out in Part II of the Annex.
Where justified by technical circumstances relevant to the fees set by this Regulation, the Agency may, subject to the agreement of the applicant:
reclassify an application within the categories identified in the Annex to this Regulation;
reclassify several applications as a single application, provided that those applications concern the same type design and that they pertain to one or more of the following, in any combination:
- (i)
Major Changes,
- (ii)
Major Repairs, or
- (iii)
Supplemental Type Certificates.
Where the applicant does not agree to the reclassification proposed, the Agency may reject or terminate the application or applications concerned.
