Rules on charging
Article 9
1. The reuse of documents shall in principle be free of charge. 2. In exceptional cases, marginal costs incurred for the reproduction and dissemination of documents may be recovered. 3. Where the Commission decides to adapt a document in order to satisfy a specific application, the costs involved in the adaptation may be recovered from the applicant.
