    5. (e)

      the acquisition of the right to allow re-use in accordance with this Section by third parties outside the public sector; and assisting re-users in seeking consent from data subjects and permission from data holders whose rights and interests may be affected by such re-use.

  4. 4.

    The criteria and methodology for calculating fees shall be laid down by the Member States and published. The public sector body shall publish a description of the main categories of costs and the rules used for the allocation of costs.

  5. 5.

    Public sector bodies may charge higher fees than those allowed in accordance with paragraph 2 and 3 of this Article with respect to very large enterprises, based on objective criteria, taking into account the economic power, or the ability of the entity to acquire data, including in particular a designation as a gatekeeper under Regulation (EU) 2022/1925. Any such calculated fees shall be proportionate. In addition to the elements listed in paragraph 3 of this Article, they can cover the cost of collection and production of the data, together with a reasonable return on investment.

Those national reporting portals are designed to be interoperable on the basis of uniform functional and technical requirements set by ENISA.

The national reporting portals provide for interoperable, automated and secure transmission of relevant notifications to competent authorities in other Member States and/or to ENISA, where this is necessary under Union law or national law.

ENISA performs a supporting and coordinating role in promoting interoperability, standardisation and quality assurance, without becoming responsible for central storage or processing of all incident notifications at Union level.
