For the purpose of the calculation of the fee, the fee is composed of the following two components:
The first component is intended to support the CRL administrative costs and the costs related to the handling of the reference samples. This first component amounts to EUR 2 000 .
The second component is intended to support the costs of the Rapporteur Laboratory for the scientific evaluation and preparation of the evaluation report. This second component amounts to EUR 4 000 .
The two components are applied as detailed below to calculate the fee rates.
Fee = Component 1 + Component 2 = EUR 6 000
when Article 3 (4)(a) and Article 5(4)(a) apply:
Fee = EUR 0
when only Article 3 (4)(a) applies, only Component 2 is applicable:
Fee = EUR 4 000
Fee = Component 1 + Component 2 = EUR 6 000
For groups of applications concerning more than one feed additive submitted simultaneously belonging to the same category of feed additives, functional group and sub classification, if applicable, and other than chemically defined flavourings, zootechnical additives, coccidiostats and histomonostats, and when the methods of analysis used for these feed additives are of the multi-analyte type of methods of analysis, the fee shall be calculated as follows:
The first component is multiplied by the number (n) of feed additives in the group:
Component 1 = (EUR 2 000 × n) = N
The second component is multiplied by the number (m) of methods of analysis to be evaluated by the CRL:
Component 2 = (EUR 4 000 × m) = M
The fee shall be the sum of the two components:
Fee = N + M
For groups of applications concerning more than one chemically defined flavouring submitted simultaneously and when the methods of analysis used for these feed additives are of the multi-analyte type of methods of analysis, the fee shall be calculated as follows:
The first component is multiplied by the number (n) of reference samples, as specified in Article 3 paragraph 1, submitted to the CRL:
Component 1 = (EUR 2 000 × n) = N
The second component is multiplied by the number (m) of methods of analysis to be evaluated by the CRL:
Component 2 = (EUR 4 000 × m) = M
The fee shall be the sum of the two components:
Fee = N + M
when Article 3(4)(b) and Article 5(4)(b) apply:
Fee = EUR 0
when only Article 3(4)(b) applies, only Component 2 applies:
Fee = EUR 4 000
Fee = component 2 = EUR 4 000
when Article 5(4)(c) applies: Fee = EUR 0.] ]
