Payment of recognition fees
Article 6
1. The basic recognition fee provided for in Article 1(1) of this Regulation shall be paid when the CCP submits its application for recognition. By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, where the Commission has not adopted an implementing act in accordance with Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 for the third country in which the CCP is established when the CCP applies for recognition, the basic recognition fee shall be paid at the latest on the day that such an implementing act enters into force. 2. The date by which the additional recognition fee provided for in Article 1(2) of this Regulation is to be paid shall be set in a debit note sent by ESMA to the CCP following ESMA’s request to the CCP to submit additional information for the assessment of the CCP’s compliance with the requirements laid down in Article 25(2b) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. The payment date shall provide the CCP with at least 30 calendar days to pay, from the day on which ESMA sent the debit note to the CCP. 3. Recognition fees shall not be reimbursed.
