Both the implementing Regulation referred to in paragraph 1 and Member States’ own rules concerning fees shall respect the following principles: fees shall be set at such a level as to ensure that the revenue derived from the fees is, in principle, sufficient to cover the cost of the services delivered and shall not exceed what is necessary to cover those costs; partial reimbursement of the fee if the applicant fails to submit the information requested within the specified time limit; the specific needs of SMEs shall be taken into account, as appropriate, including the possibility of splitting payments into several instalments and phases; the structure and amount of fees shall take into account whether information has been submitted jointly or separately; in duly justified circumstances, and where it is accepted by the Agency or the competent authority, the whole fee or a part of it may be waived; and the deadlines for the payment of fees shall be fixed taking due account of the deadlines of the procedures provided for in this Regulation.
