In order to ensure that the necessary resources remain available, the participating
            entities will contribute to the costs incurred in the procurement procedures and any
            ancillary activity. To this end, the Commission should be entitled to charge fees to the
            participating entities. Those fees should be set at a level sufficient in principle to cover
            all the direct and indirect costs incurred by the Commission in connection with the
            procurement activities, including any ancillary services. Those fees should be
            established in accordance with practices of comparable procurement frameworks.
            Initial establishment costs may be borne by the general budget of the Union and
            reimbursed by the participating entities over a set period. Revenues generated by the
            fees should constitute internal assigned revenues within the meaning of Article
            21(3)(a), of the Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509.
