It shall include all costs relating to performance of the contract (e.g. retrieval, handling and delivery of texts, access to terminology and document databases). It also includes administrative tasks, communications, taxes, social security contributions, insurance and any bank charge. This fee may vary from one lot (language combination) to another, must be expressed in euros (EUR) and must show both amounts with and without VAT.

For translation services provided under this framework contract, the price of a translated text shall correspond to a sum equal to the number of standard pages of source text multiplied by the fee per standard page.
