THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC, in particular Article 64(1) thereof,

After consulting the Management Board of the European Aviation Safety Agency,

Whereas:

(1) The revenues of the European Aviation Safety Agency (hereinafter the Agency), consist of a contribution from the Union and from any European third country which has entered into the agreements referred to in Article 66 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, of the fees paid by applicants for certificates and approvals issued, maintained or amended by the Agency, and of charges for publications, handling of appeals, training and any other service provided by the Agency.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 established the fees and charges to be levied by the Agency. However, the tariffs need to be adjusted in order to ensure a balance between the costs incurred by the Agency for related certification tasks and services provided, and the revenues to cover said costs.

(3) Fees and charges provided for in this Regulation should be set in a transparent, fair and uniform manner.

(4) The fees levied by the Agency should not jeopardize the competitiveness of the European industries concerned. Furthermore, they should be established on a basis which takes due account of the ability of small undertakings to pay.

(5) While civil aviation safety should be the prime concern, the Agency should nevertheless take full account of cost efficiency when conducting the tasks incumbent on it.

(6) The geographical location of the undertakings in the territories of the Member States should not be a discriminatory factor. Consequently, the travel costs related to the certification tasks carried out on behalf of such undertakings should be aggregated and divided between the applicants.

(7) This Regulation foresees the possibility for the Agency to charge fees for certification tasks which are not mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation, but which fall within the remits of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.

(8) The applicant should have the choice to request a financial quote of the estimated amount to be paid for the certification task or service. The criteria for determining the amount to be paid should be clear, uniform and public. Where it is not possible to accurately determine this amount in advance, transparent principles for assessing the amount to be paid during the provision of the certification task or service should be established by the Agency.

(9) Deadlines for the payment of fees and charges levied under this Regulation should be fixed.

(10) Appropriate remedies in cases of non-payment should be laid down such as the termination of the related application processes, invalidation of related approvals, prevention of any further provision of certification tasks or services to the same applicant, and recovery of the outstanding amount through available means.

(11) The industry should enjoy good financial visibility and be able to anticipate the cost of the fees and charges it will be required to pay. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure a balance between overall expenditure incurred by the Agency in carrying out certification tasks and services provided, and overall income from the fees and charges it levies. In accordance with provisions of the Framework Financial Regulation, fees and charges should be set at the level such to avoid a deficit or a significant accumulation of surplus. It should therefore be mandatory to review the levels of fees and charges if a significant deficit or surplus becomes recurrent on the basis of the Agency’s financial results and forecasts.

(12) Interested parties should be consulted prior to any change of fees. Moreover, the Agency should regularly provide interested parties with information on how and on what basis the fees are calculated. Such information should provide interested parties with an insight into the costs incurred by the Agency and its productivity.

(13) The tariffs set out in this Regulation should be based on Agency’s forecasts as regards its workload and related costs. The revision of the tariffs should follow a procedure that permits amendment without undue delay based on the Agency’s experience gained from the application of this Regulation, continuous resource and working methodology monitoring and associated efficiency gains, and the continuous assessment of the financial needs. In this context it should be noted that the Agency will, no later than January 2016, be obliged to cover, from the fees and charges income, contributions to the pension schemes of its staff financed through the Agency’s fees and charges. The fees and charges will need to be adjusted to meet that financial requirement.

(14) The costs related to services provided by the Agency in the field of air traffic management and air navigation services (ATM/ANS) will need to become eligible to be financed by charges imposed on users of air navigation services in accordance with Article 6 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 391/2013.

(15) It is reasonable that the full payment of the charges for an appeal against decisions of the Agency is a prerequisite for the appeal to be admissible.

(16) Agreements referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 should provide a basis for the evaluation of the actual workload involved in the certification of third countries’ products. In principle, the process for validation by the Agency of certificates issued by a third country with which the Union has an appropriate agreement is described in these agreements and should result in a different workload from the process required for certification activities by the Agency.

(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 65(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.

(18) Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 should therefore be repealed,
