Mr. Tom Loftus:

This has yet to be discussed in detail. Article 78 of the regulation would provide for fees to recover costs, including salaries of staff and support staff. Essentially, the answer is yes. The Deputy is correct that a lot of the detail remains to be worked out. At present we tend to recover the costs of the people engaged directly in the official controls. We also have a range of other fees which would not currently come under the Regulation 882 banner - the official control banner. We would see potential for some of those fees to be adaptable, as this EU review goes on, in order to fit in with the new architecture and perhaps get us some of the way towards what will be required there.
