RCB 5.2 Fees to be paid
Introduction
This chapter provides for an initial fee for registration of a regulated covered bond and subsequent annual fees.

The annual fee is a fee for the FSA's ongoing costs in administering the regulated covered bond regime. Like the registration fee, it is charged to issuers in respect of their participation in the regime.
