13 Fees & charges 14

14 Principles Fees and Charges to be defined by EC in an appropriate act. The following principles shall be considered: ERA is a non-profit organisation Learning from best practice in other EU agencies The requirements that fees and charges to be set in a transparent, fair, and uniform manner should take due account of the ability of the undertakings to pay should not jeopardise the competitive position of the rail sector To be fixed at a level so as to ensure the revenue in respect thereof is sufficient to cover the full cost of services including the costs resulting from the tasks carried out by NSAs (NSAs acting as DeBos will need to invoice applicants separately for that work) 15

15 Appeal Board(s) 16

16 Appeal Board(s) Applicants may appeal On the process of decision making made by the Agency On the content of ERA decisions. Consequences: The Appeal Board(s) Members should be qualified experts on the grounds of relevant competence and experience (=> members will need at least the same knowledge and technical competence as ERA, NSA staff, NoBos, DeBos and CSM assessors each of whom create the content) It follows that the Appeal Board(s) and its members (who cannot be ERA staff or have any other position at the Agency) must take the same responsibility / liability for decisions they make as ERA and its staff Rules of procedure to be established by the EC after consultation with the Management Board 17

17 Management Board (based on proposal for ERA Regulation version 20 May 2014, political agreement Council) 18

18 Management Board Enhanced Role in strategic aspects through adoption of important decisions on: Cooperation agreements Agency-NSA: guidelines + main elements Policy, working methods and procedures on visits, audits and inspections Communication and dissemination plans Working parties and other groups: rules of procedure and scales for travel and subsistence expenses Fees: framework model for financial apportioning 19
