1. The Agency may deliver upon request the following additional services:

(a) customised training;

(b) certain support activities for Member States that have not been identified as a priority but could be beneficially conducted if supported by national resources;

(c) capacity-building programmes for third countries which are not covered by separate dedicated Union funding;

(d) assessment of national bodies set up in third countries, in particular candidate countries, pursuant to Article 20(3);

(e) other customised services rendered at the request of a participating country which require the investment of additional resources in the support of national activities. The Agency shall charge fees for the delivery of services as referred to in the first subparagraph.

2. At the proposal of the Executive Director and after having consulted the Commission, the Management Board shall set, in a transparent manner, the method for calculating the fees and the way in which they are paid.

3. Fees shall be proportionate to the costs of the service delivered as provided in a cost-effective way and shall be sufficient to cover those costs. Fees shall be set at such a level as to ensure that they are non-discriminatory and that they avoid placing an undue financial or administrative burden on stakeholders.

4. Fees shall be set at such a level as to avoid a deficit or a significant accumulation of surplus in the Agency’s budget. If a significant positive balance in the budget, resulting from the provision of the services covered by fees, becomes recurrent, or if a significant negative balance results from the provision of the services covered by fees, the Management Board shall revise the method for calculating the fees in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraph 2.

5. Where applicable, the Agency shall include a report on the fees levied and their impact on the Agency’s budget as part of the procedure for the presentation of accounts laid down in Article 41.
