Public prices

 

Please do not proceed with payment without first making contact

Order SAS/3397/2009, of 4 December, establishing the public prices for the performance of activities by the Spanish Agency for, Food Safety and Nutrition, establishes the applicability of public prices for the assessment of cases concerning processing aids, technological processes, foods and food ingredients previously authorised for human consumption in the European Union and scientific advisory reports on the risk assessment of foodstuffs.

For the assessment of these cases and the preparation of reports, the applicant must first contact the Risk Assessment Unit through the institutional e-mail address evaluacionriesgos@aesan.gob.es

Having contacted the Risk Assessment Unit and if AESAN confirms that the assessment will take place, the following procedure must be followed prior to payment of the public price:

  • Request the specific report or assessment by contacting AESAN’s Executive Management. To do so, send the original application documents (using the application from) and all documentation to be assessed by post to: Dirección Ejecutiva de la AESAN. Área de Evaluación de Riesgos. Agencia Española, Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición. Calle Alcalá 56. 28014 Madrid. The applicant may also submit their application and the documentation to be assessed by sending an email to evaluacionriesgos@aesan.gob.es
  • If the requested service is approved, AESAN will submit a cost estimate including a form with the applicant’s invoicing details.
  • The applicant must confirm acceptance of the cost estimate, submitting a signed copy and completing the invoicing details.
  • AESAN will conduct and submit the assessment or report in question and issue an invoice.
  • Having received the invoice, the applicant must pay the public price (plus VAT) by making a deposit into the account number 9000.0001.20.0200009308 held by the Organisation for this purpose at the Bank of Spain and authorised by the Treasury. The applicant must send a copy of the proof of payment of the public price to AESAN. The entity ordering the payment should be clearly identified on the proof of payment.
  • In some cases, an advance payment of 50% of the public price (plus VAT) is required when the case is submitted. In this case, on receipt of the application and documentation to be assessed, AESAN will issue an invoice for 50% of the public price (plus VAT). Once the applicant has completed the payment and sent a copy of the proof of payment of the public price, AESAN will assess the documentation submitted and prepare the requested report. On completion of the report, AESAN will issue another invoice for the remaining 50% of the public price (plus VAT) and send the report to the applicant.
