The registration fee referred to in Article 6 shall be due at the time the trade repository submits its application for registration under Article 55(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, and shall be paid in full within 30 calendar days from the date of issuance of ESMA’s invoice.

Registration fees shall not be reimbursed if a trade repository withdraws its application for registration before ESMA adopts the reasoned decision to register or refuse registration, or if registration is refused.
