European Commission 16 April 2008, Commission Regulation (EC) No 340/2008 of 16 April 2008 on the fees and charges payable to the European Chemicals Agency pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) (Text with EEA relevance)

Also known as

Commission Regulation (EC) No 340/2008 establishes the amounts and payment rules for fees and charges levied by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) pursuant to the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, covering registrations, updates, confidentiality requests, PPORD notifications, authorisation applications and reviews, and appeals. Key provisions set tiered fee structures based on tonnage ranges and enterprise size, with mandatory reductions for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as defined by Recommendation 2003/361/EC, and provide that false declarations entitle the Agency to levy the full fee plus an administrative charge. The Regulation further governs the transfer of a proportion of collected fees to Member State competent authorities for rapporteur and related tasks, and requires annual inflation-based review of fee levels using the European Index of Consumer Prices.AI
