Fees
Article 30
1. For active substances listed in Annex I Member States may establish a regime obliging the notifiers to pay a fee or charge for the administrative treatment and the evaluation of dossiers. The income from such fees or charges shall be used to finance exclusively those costs actually incurred by the rapporteur Member State or to finance general activities of the Member States resulting from their obligations under Articles 15 to 24. 2. Member States shall establish the amount of the fee or charge referred to in paragraph 1 in a transparent manner so that it does not exceed the real cost of the examination and administrative treatment of a dossier or the general activities of the Member States resulting from their obligations under Articles 15 to 24. However, Member States may provide for a scale of fixed charges based on average costs for the calculation of the total fee. 3. The fee or charge shall be paid in accordance with the procedure to be established by the authorities in each Member State as listed in Annex IV.
