Paragraph 9 a (new)
9a. Acknowledges the challenges for ECHA in verifying the correctness of its fee income, in particular with respect to the substantial fee reductions provided for in the law for SMEs; welcomes in this respect the Agency's proactive approach but recalls that a financial ex-post verification of each registrant's size is not specified in legislation as a core task of ECHA and that the agency has not been staffed to carry out this financial work; calls on the Commission to ensure that ECHA is properly resourced to ensure the effective and proportionate verification of its fee income in a timely manner;
