A.8 - How much do I have to pay if I withdraw or interrupt my application, or if the Agency terminates the certification task or service?
Answer
Per Articles 10 and 16 of (EU) 2025/2347:
- For the tasks referred to in Tables 1, 2, 3, 6 (point 1.), 9A (approval fee) and 23 of Part I of the Annex to (EU) 2025/2347, where the fee/charge is levied per application and per period of 12 months, the balance for the ongoing 12-month period will be 1/365th of the relevant annual fee/charge per day. For the periods preceding the ongoing 12-month period, the applicable fees remain due.
- For the tasks referred to in Tables 4, 5, 6 (point 2.), 15 and 19D of Part I of the Annex and for tasks with a fixed amount of hours referred to in Part II of the Annex to (EU) 2025/2347, where the fee/charge is levied per application, the balance will be 50% of the applicable fee/charge.
- For the tasks referred to in Tables 7A and 9B to 22 of Part I of the Annex to (EU) 2025/2347, where the fee/charge is levied per application, the balance is calculated on an hourly basis, but will not exceed the applicable flat fee/charge.
- For the tasks referred to in Table 24 of the Annex to (EU) 2025/2347, where the charge is levied per application and per billing cycle, the balance for the ongoing 12-month-period will be the full amount.
- For tasks referred to in Part II of the Annex to (EU) 2025/2347, where the fee/charge is levied on an hourly basis, the balance is calculated on an hourly basis.
- For other services, the balance shall be calculated on an hourly basis, unless otherwise agreed between the applicant and the Agency.
The above amounts are payable in full at the time EASA stops working, together with any other amounts due at that time, such as travel costs.
For tasks where the fee/charge is levied per application and per period of 12 months: where a task is interrupted within the first billing cycle, the fees for that billing cycle will not be reimbursed. For tasks interrupted after the first billing cycle, the balance of fees due will be calculated in accordance with the above criteria for that billing cycle.
When such a project is reactivated by EASA after the expiration of the interruption period or at the request of the applicant, the task will be charged a new fee/charge for a new 12-month-period (starting on the day of reactivation), irrespective of any fees/charges already paid for the interrupted task.
