Article 5Registration fee and extension of registration fee#
1.The registration fee to be paid by individual applicant trade repositories shall reflect the expenditure necessary to accurately assess and examine the application for registration or extension of registration, taking into account the services to be provided by the trade repository, including any ancillary services.
2.A trade repository shall be deemed to offer ancillary services in any of the following situations:
(a)where it directly provides ancillary services;
(b)where an entity belonging to the same group as the trade repository provides ancillary services;
(c)where an entity with which the trade repository has concluded an agreement in the context of the trading or post-trading chain or business line to cooperate in the provision of services provides the ancillary services.
3.Where a trade repository does not provide ancillary services as referred to in paragraph 2, the trade repository concerned is deemed to have a low expected total turnover and shall pay a registration fee of EUR 65000.
4.Where a trade repository provides ancillary services as referred to in paragraph 2, the trade repository is deemed to have a high expected total turnover and shall pay a registration fee of EUR 100000.
5.Where a trade repository is applying for registration and has already been registered under Title VI, Chapter 1 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the trade repository shall pay an extension of registration fee of:
(a)EUR 50000 for trade repositories that provide ancillary services as referred to in paragraph 2;
(b)EUR 32500 for low expected turnover trade repositories that do not provide ancillary services as referred to in paragraph 2.
7.In case of a material change to the conditions for registration as referred to in Article 5(4) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2365, as a consequence of which the trade repository owes a higher registration fee pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 than the registration fee paid initially, the trade repository shall be charged the difference between the initially paid registration fee and the higher applicable registration fee resulting from that material change.
