Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2067 of 15 October 2025 amending Regulation (EC) No 340/2008 on the fees and charges payable to the European Chemicals Agency pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
Regulation (EC) No 340/2008 is amended as follows:
(1)
in Article 10, the following paragraph 2a is inserted:
‘2a. A natural or legal person shall be entitled to pay a reduced appeal fee if the latest decision issued by the Agency to that person in accordance with Article 13(4) of this Regulation concluded that the person in question is entitled to such a reduction and if the validity period of that decision has not yet expired. In that case, the natural or legal person shall provide the Agency with the decision on the recognition of the SME status when submitting the appeal.
If a decision on recognition of SME status is still pending at the time of the submission of the appeal, Article 13(7) shall apply mutatis mutandis .
If no such decision was previously issued by the Agency or is pending, or if the validity period of the decision has expired, the person concerned shall, when submitting the appeal, provide a self-declaration on the company size and the supporting evidence referred to in Article 13(1b) of this Regulation that it is entitled to the reduction.’
;
(2)
Article 13 is amended as follows:
(a)
the title of the article is replaced by:
‘
Recognition of SME status, reductions and fee waiver
’;
(b)
paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
‘1. A natural or legal person that claims to be entitled to a reduced fee or charge in accordance with Articles 3 to 9 shall apply to the Agency for recognition of SME status at least two months before the submission giving rise to the payment of the fee.
A natural or legal person that claims to be entitled to a reduced fee or charge shall submit to the Agency the relevant documentation proving entitlement to such reduction by virtue of the status of SME in accordance with Recommendation 2003/361/EC.’
;
(c)
the following paragraphs 1a and 1b are inserted:
‘1a. The verification of the SME status by the Agency may be subject to an administrative charge.
The level of that administrative charge shall be determined by the Management Board of the Agency, based on a proposal by the Executive Director of the Agency, reflecting the workload associated with the verification of the SME status under this Article. An administrative charge shall not be levied where the subsequent decision of the Agency on the SME status recognises the SME status of the applicant. The decision of the Management Board on the level of the administrative charge shall be published.
1b. The Agency shall publish a list of the relevant documentation to be submitted in accordance with paragraph 1.’
;
(d)
paragraphs 3 and 4 are replaced by:
‘3. The Agency may request, at any time, additional evidence that the conditions for a reduction of the fees or charges or for a fee waiver apply. The Agency shall reject the application if the evidence requested is not provided within the deadline set by the Agency in such a request.
Where any document submitted to the Agency is not in one of the official languages of the Union, it shall be accompanied by a certified translation into any one of the official languages.
4. Upon receipt of all the relevant documentation the Agency shall within two months, decide whether the SME status can be recognised. The timeline may be longer if mutually agreed between the Agency and the company.
A decision on recognition of SME status shall be valid for three years for all submissions made after such decision to the Agency in accordance with the relevant Union law requiring such submissions. The first re-application for recognition of SME status after the Agency’s first decision on the SME status may be done by a self-declaration on the company size if it is submitted two months before the end of the three-year validity period and if the SME status has not changed.’
;
(e)
the following paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 are inserted:
‘5. If the Agency decides not to recognise the SME status applied for, the applicant is not entitled to any claim to a reduced fee or charge in accordance with Articles 3 to 10.
6. A natural or legal person claiming a reduced fee or charge in accordance with Articles 3 to 9 when making a submission to the Agency in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 shall provide the Agency decision on the recognition of SME status together with the submission.
7. Where, in exceptional circumstances, the Agency is unable to adopt a decision on the SME status within two months after receipt of all relevant documentation, a submission made thereafter by the applicant for SME status giving rise to the payment of a fee or charge referred to under paragraph 1 shall benefit temporarily from the reduced fee or charge claimed. Such reduced fee or charge shall be conditionally granted until a decision on the SME status has been adopted. If the subsequent decision does not recognise the SME status, the Agency shall levy the balance of the full fee or charge and may levy an administrative charge.
Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of Articles 3 to 5 and paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Article 7 shall apply mutatis mutandis .
For fees payable in accordance with Articles 6, 8 and 9, the balance of the full fee or charge shall be paid within 14 calendar days from the date of reception of the Agency’s decision not to recognise the SME status.’
;
(3)
Annexes I to VIII to Regulation (EC) No 340/2008 are replaced by Annexes I to VIII to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall not apply to valid submissions pending on the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
However, Article 1(1) and (2) shall apply from 5 February 2027.
