that will contribute to the self-financing of the Registry, provided
that fee reductions or waivers shall be made available to persons
who cannot afford regular fees.
5.1.7 It is intended that the Registry will progressively become a

manner and with an effect that is consistent with the present
policy’s vision, aims and principles.
