Article 16 Fees and charges

Member States may require payment of fees and charges in accordance with Article 74 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 to recover the costs associated with any work they carry out within the scope of this Regulation.

In case of simultaneous applications for renewal for more than one active substance, for which at least part of the risk assessment can be considered applicable to all of the active substance applications for renewal, fees shall be proportionate and applied taking into consideration that a common risk assessment might be performed.

The first subparagraph shall in particular apply to such simultaneous applications for renewal concerning strains of microorganisms with genetic, biological and/or ecological similarity, or to pheromones with similar chemical structures acting on the same taxonomic group of target organisms.
