7.2.3 Public availability of information relating to fees and charges
Many countries and all European NRAs make extensive use of the Internet to aid the
transparency of their procedures. Access to information has also been helped by the
activities of CEPT and the EU, including moves to harmonise licensing procedures where
feasible.
However, despite these welcome improvements, there is still a wide variation in the
amount of information made available by individual administrations and NRAs and the
ease with which this information can be accessed. Whilst some NRAs place all relevant
information in the web, others restrict this to national official journals or printed information
sheets which must be procured from the NRA or other Government Department. In some
cases there appears to be no publicly available information concerning fees and charges
for certain services.
When informing the consultant that it was not possible to complete the questionnaire as
requested many administrations provided their web address and some URLs of key pages.
Some administrations have not replied at all and attempts were made by the consultant to
obtain information where possible. Table 7-2 below is a compilation of general information
obtained from the Web on the countries listed in Annex 8.
