Based on the  NOOL Board’s proposal a reduction of the User fee for 2019 for MAHs with very small or zero revenues was approved by General Meeting on 23rd August 2018. The reduced user fee was set at € 2,000 *.

Due to the expected date of issuing the invoice, judged revenues should be for 2017. NOOL is entitled to request additional documentation to verify compliance with the condition to obtain a reduced fee.

In the first year of operation, a MAH without previous history, it may request a reduction in the annual user fee; does not concern newly created MAHs related to over registration (due to Brexit).

The approval of the NOOL user fee discount will then be accompanied by the signature of an addendum to the current cooperation agreement between the MAH and NOOL (the wording of the contract addendum is currently being prepared).
