THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 74(1) and Article 132 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

The structure and amounts of the fees and charges collected by the European Chemicals Agency, hereinafter the ‘Agency’, as well as the rules for payment should be established.

 

(2)

The structure and amount of the fees should take account of the work required by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 to be carried out by the Agency and the competent authorities and should be fixed at such a level as to ensure that the revenue derived from them when combined with other sources of the Agency's revenue pursuant to Article 96(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is sufficient to cover the cost of the services delivered. The fees for registration should also take into account the work that may be done pursuant to Title VI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

 

(3)

A fee should be set for the registration of substances which should depend on the tonnage range of those substances. However, no fee should be levied for registrations covered by Article 74(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

 

(4)

Specific fees should be levied in the case of registrations of isolated intermediates submitted under Article 17(2), Article 18(2) or (3) or Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

 

(5)

Requests made in accordance with Article 10(a)(xi) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should also give rise to the payment of a fee.

 

(6)

A fee should be levied for updates to the registration. In particular, a fee should be paid for updates of the tonnage range, for changes in the identity of the registrant involving a change in legal personality, and for certain changes in the status of the information contained in the registration.

 

(7)

A fee should be levied for the notification of information concerning product and process oriented research and development (PPORD) in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. A charge should be levied also for any request for an extension of a PPORD exemption.

 

(8)

A fee should be levied for the submission of an application for an authorisation. The fee should consist of a base fee that should cover one substance, one use, and one applicant, and additional fees for any additional substance, use, or applicant covered by the application. A charge should also be levied for the submission of a review report.
