Estimates of fees and charges
Article 4
1. The Agency shall, at the request of the applicant, issue a non-binding estimate of the amount of the fees and charges related to the application or request for services and provide information on when the invoices will be issued. The NSAs which are involved in the processing of an application shall provide a non-binding estimate of their costs as referred to in Article 3(1)(b) to the Agency to be included in the estimate issued by the Agency. 2. During the processing of an application, the Agency and the NSAs shall monitor their costs. At the request of the applicant, when costs risk exceeding the estimate by more than 15 %, the Agency shall inform the applicant thereof. 3. Where the processing of an application or a service lasts longer than one year, the applicant may request a new estimate. 4.
