Replacement of the applicant
An applicant may be replaced by another producer in respect of all of its rights and obligations under this Regulation by informing the rapporteur Member State, by a joint declaration made by both of them. In that case, both shall, at the same time, inform of the replacement the co-rapporteur Member State, the Commission, the other Member States, the Authority and any other applicants that have submitted an application for renewal for the same active substance.
Fees and charges
1. 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.
2. 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.
