Article 3 Annual identification of designated services

Summary What does Article 3 of the Methodology for calculating the supervisory fee say?

This article defines the scope of which designated services are subject to a supervisory fee in any given year.

It works in conjunction with the fee calculation methodology set out in Article 4, by first establishing which services must be captured within that calculation.

In essence, it casts a wide net, covering both services already designated at the start of the year and those that become designated at any point during it.

Important points:

Any designated service active on 1 January of a given year is subject to the supervisory fee for that year, including those whose designation terminates after that date.
Any service that becomes designated at any point between 1 January and 31 December of a given year is also captured and subject to the supervisory fee.
The article ensures no designated service can avoid a supervisory fee by virtue of mid-year timing, whether gaining or losing designation status during the year.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

The designated services in relation to which a supervisory fee shall be charged in a given year n shall be:

any service which, on 1 January of that year, was already subject to the obligations of Section 5 of Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 in accordance with Article 33(6) of that Regulation, including any service whose termination of the designation becomes applicable pursuant to Article 33(6) of that Regulation after that date;
any service which becomes subject to the obligations of Section 5 of Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 in accordance with Article 33(6) of that Regulation between 1 January and 31 December of that year.
