PART VICHARGES

1.  This Part of this Schedule specifies the amount of each charge referred to in this Schedule, and also specifies the thing done by the licensing authority in respect of which each such charge is payable.

2.  For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a)the amount of the application consideration charge is—

(i)in the case of an application by a licensee for the grant of a pure continuation licence (that is to say a further irradiation licence on the same terms, other than in relation to its commencement date, as those of his existing irradiation licence), £325,

(ii)in the case of an application by a licensee for the grant of a continuation licence with type A additions (that is to say a further irradiation licence which is a pure continuation licence in relation to food to which his existing licence relates but extends to other food within the same of the seven permitted descriptions of food), a sum (fixed at the discretion of the licensing authority) no greater than £1,500 × A where A is the number of permitted descriptions of food into which the type A additions fall,

(iii)in the case of an application by a licensee for the grant of a continuation licence with type B additions (that is to say a further irradiation licence which is a pure continuation licence in relation to food to which his existing licence relates but extends to other food within other permitted descriptions of food), a sum of £1,500 × B where B is the number of other permitted descriptions of food into which the type B additions fall,

(iv)in the case of an application by a licensee for the grant of a continuation licence with type A and type B additions, the total which would be fixed and payable under paragraph (ii) above in relation to the type A additions and payable under paragraph (iii) above in relation to the type B additions, and

(v)in any other case, £6,000 plus, if the application relates to two or more of the seven permitted descriptions of food, (£1,500 × C) where C is one less than the number of permitted descriptions of food to which the application relates,

plus, if the application (however many of the seven permitted descriptions of food the application relates to) falls within paragraph 3(3) of Part I of this Schedule, a sum (fixed at the discretion of the licensing authority) no greater than the sum which would otherwise be payable in the case within which that application falls;

(b)the amount of the inspection charge is £900 for each inspection carried out in respect of which an inspection charge is payable;

(c)the amount of the variation agreement charge is £500; and

(d)an application by a licensee for a further irradiation licence which relates to food entirely within, but not comprising the entirety of, food to which his existing licence relates shall not for that reason alone be regarded as an application for a licence on terms not the same as those of his existing irradiation licence.

3.  For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a)an application consideration charge is payable in respect of the exercise by the licensing authority of its functions under paragraph 3 of Part I of this Schedule relating to consideration of an application for an irradiation licence;

(b)an inspection charge is payable in respect of each inspection (referred to in regulation 9(3) above) carried out by the licensing authority except for any such inspection which would cause the total amount payable in respect of such inspections during any licence year to exceed the appropriate upper limit for that year, the appropriate upper limit being—

(i)for the first licence year in respect of an irradiation licence other than a pure continuation licence, £1,800, and

(ii)for any licence year other than a first licence year to which paragraph (i) above applies, £2,700; and

(c)a variation agreement charge is payable in respect of the exercise by the licensing authority of its functions under Part III of this Schedule of agreeing, subject to payment of that charge, the variation of any condition of a licence to which that Part of this Schedule applies.
