Article 6 Yearly procedure to determine the individual fees

In accordance with Article 41(8) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046, in the context of the establishment of the draft budget for year n+1, the Commission shall determine, for each relevant budget line, the estimated amount of external assigned revenues stemming from the supervisory fees that will be made available at the beginning of year n+1, as the amounts corresponding to the overall annual costs estimated for year n+1 in accordance with Article 2 of this Regulation.

The estimation pursuant to the first subparagraph of this paragraph shall be accompanied by an overview prepared by the Commission indicating the elements accounted for such estimation in accordance with the different categories of costs of Article 2, to be published at the latest by 30 June of each calendar year on the Commission website.

At the latest by 31 August of each year, any provider of designated service or services subject to the supervisory fee pursuant to Article 3 shall provide to the Commission its latest financial statement, and any other supporting document for the determination of the maximum overall limit pursuant to Article 5 as well as, where applicable, any information necessary for the application of the fee. Where a provider does not provide the documents necessary for the determination of the maximum overall limit, it shall be presumed that this limit is not reached by that provider in that calendar year.

At the latest by 30 September of each year, the Commission shall communicate to each provider of designated service or services identified pursuant to Article 3 the provisional determination of the amount of supervisory fee for all designated services provided by that provider calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Articles 4 and 5. The provider shall communicate to the Commission any observation on such calculation within two weeks from receipt of the communication of that provisional determination.

At the latest by 30 November of each year, account taken of the observations referred to in paragraph 3, the Commission shall adopt and notify to each provider of designated service or services identified pursuant to Article 3 of this Regulation an implementing decision adopted in accordance with Article 43(3) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, determining the supervisory fee for the designated service or services provided by that provider, calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Articles 4 and 5 of this Regulation. The implementing decision shall establish the amounts receivable as supervisory fee within the meaning of Article 98 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 and set a deadline to pay the supervisory fees by 31 December of that year. Where a decision adopted pursuant to Article 33(4) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 is addressed to more than one legal person, all addressees of that decision shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of the supervisory fee in respect of the designated service or services.
