(21) To further the knowledge in this area and support Member States, the Agency should define and finance relevant projects, such as the development of reference standards on new drugs, the elaboration of toxicological or pharmacological studies, implementing innovative approaches to research, and drug profiling. Such an approach would support the sharing of information between relevant laboratories and would decrease the costs for individual laboratories.

Amendment 331 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 37
1. The Agency may charge fees for the following: (a) training programmes; (b) certain support activities for Member States that have not been identified as a priority but could be beneficially conducted if supported by national resources; (c) capacity-building programmes for third countries, which are not covered by separate dedicated Union funding; (d) certification of national bodies set up in third countries pursuant to Article 20(3); (e) other services falling within its mandate and rendered at the request of a participating country which require the investment of resources in the support of national activities. 2. At the proposal of the Executive Director, the Management Board of the Agency shall set the amount of the fees and the way in which they are paid. 3. Fees shall be proportionate to the costs of the relevant services as provided in a cost-effective way and shall be sufficient to cover those costs. Fees shall be set at such a level as to ensure that they are non-discriminatory and that they avoid placing an undue financial or administrative burden on stakeholders. 4. Fees should be set at a level such as to avoid a deficit or a significant accumulation of surplus in the budget. Should a significant positive balance in the budget, resulting from the provision of the services covered by fees, become recurrent, a revision of the level of the fees, or of the Union contribution, shall become mandatory. In case a significant negative balance results from the provision of the services covered by fees, a revision of the level of the fees shall become mandatory.Article 37 deleted Fees
