I agree with you Corinne. I was with our Notified Body in Germany until June this year, before I changed to our facility in the US.

There is no mention of this fee neither in the directive nor in the national laws. In France the authority where to notify is ANFR (national french frequency agency) and there is no mention of any fee (www.anfr.fr). (and if there was a fee from the european commission, it would have been mentionned in euros !). Perhaps, this is the fee that a lab will charge you to the notificaiton for you in all countries.
