E.5 - What is the “e” - component?
Answer
The "e"-component reflects the average costs for travel inside the territories of the EASA Member States. It is made up of the average transport costs and travel time within the territories of the EASA Member States, multiplied by the EASA hourly rate set out in Annex Part II to (EU) 2025/2347. The "e"-component is subject to annual review and indexation.
Travel within EASA Member States is covered by the fees and charges for certification or service-related tasks. Therefore, when business travel outside EASA Member States is charged to the applicant (i.e. travel costs not covered by the applicable fee or charge), the amount due will be reduced by the amount of the "e"-component.
The "e"-component will be clearly indicated in the travel costs break down provided by the Agency.
"E"-component value:
