1) The fee schedule for Biowaste Organisations (BIOO) is based on the current published waste statitics of the EU (EUROSTAT 2010). 30 to 40 % of municial solid waste is biowaste. For the calculation of fees 30 % of municipal waste is taken into account (1.000 t biowaste/a * 0,001 Euro). In some cases (like implementing of biowaste management or separate collection in countries) the fee can be increased in 3 steps (25 %´, 50 %, 75 %) in the first years with an annual revision of the development by the Board

2) The fees of Commercial Organisations (CO) are based on the amount of employees.
