(a) inserting new regulation 9A providing for the payment of fees and the reimbursement of the costs of laboratory analyses to the specified approval body ("the competent body") by a person applying to that body for approval of an establishment under regulation 5 or 7 of that instrument, and making supplementary provisions relating thereto (regulation 3);
(b) inserting new regulation 16A providing for the payment of fees and the reimbursement of the costs of laboratory analyses to the competent body by a person applying to it for approval as an "intermediary" under regulation 12 or 14 of that instrument, and making supplementary provisions relating thereto (regulation 4); and
(c) inserting new Schedule 1A specifying the fees payable by virtue of new regulations 9A and 16A (regulation 5).
