Article 3a. Additional Fees

In case any regulatory or administrative charges which emerge from the reported data of a Customer are imposed by an entitled authority (such as ACER or NRA) on PRISMA as registered reporting mechanism (RRM) or Organised Marketplace, PRISMA shall be entitled to pass on and invoice those charges to the individual Customer. This applies specifically but not limited to the administrative charges charged by ACER due to COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2025/1771.
