1. The Agency shall levy a fee, as provided for in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Article, for any registration of an on-site or transported isolated intermediate under Article 17(2), Article 18(2) or (3) or Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

However, no fee shall be levied for the registration of an on-site or transported isolated intermediate in a quantity of between 1 and 10 tonnes where the submission of the registration contains all the information required in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 as provided for in Article 74(2) of that Regulation.

The fees under this Article shall only apply to registrations of on-site or transported isolated intermediates submitted under Article 17(2), Article 18(2) or (3) or Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In the case of registrations of intermediate substances that require the information specified in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the fees set out in Article 3 of this Regulation shall apply.
