THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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, and in particular Article 74(1) and Article 132 thereof,

(3) The adjustment of fees and charges is fixed at such a level that the revenue derived from those fees and charges, 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.
(4) The Management Board of the Agency should, within the powers conferred to it by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, continue monitoring the efforts pursued by the Agency for efficiency gains to achieve the best relationship between resources employed and results achieved.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 340/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) For reasons of legal certainty, this Regulation should not apply to valid submissions that are pending on the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
