45Lastly, it should also be noted that although, under Article 14(3) of Regulation No 1922/2006, the EIGE’s activities are to be funded primarily by EU resources, according to Article 14(3)(b) its revenue is to include ‘payments received for services rendered’, thereby confirming that the EU legislature envisaged that the EIGE would act, in part at least, as a market player. That view is corroborated by the fact that, according to consistent case-law, the essential characteristic of remuneration lies in the fact that it constitutes consideration for the service in question and is normally agreed upon between the provider and the recipient of the service (judgment of 17 March 2011, Peñarroja Fa, C‑372/09 and C‑373/09, EU:C:2011:156, paragraph 37 and the case-law cited).
