Tariffs for the GSPP Foundation and the Audit Organizations

Tariffs will be charged for the audits and travelling costs (by the Auditing Organizations), the annual fee for the system (by GSPP Foundation) and the TIP fund contribution (by GSPP Foundation).

Annual fee and TIP fund contribution for 2024

The basis for the annual fee is the classification of the type of business activities the company undertakes, according to the definitions of GSPP. The GSPP board decides on the classification. Per extra site or hectare an extra fee is charged.

Next to this the GSPP Board decided about the creation of a TIP fund. This fund is aimed at executing a Technical Investigation Procedure in the chain of the tomato production in case of a Cmm confirmed infection. A TIP fund contribution will be collected. Each year the GSPP secretariat will give an update and report on the status of the TIP fund.

The annual fee for 2024 is explained in the scheme below.

For 2024 no TIP contribution will be invoiced to the GSPP participants. On a yearly basis this will be decided by the GSPP Board.

The first application of a company is considered after completing and sending the Application and Modification form and payment of a deposit of € 500. This deposit is part of the annual fee charged by the GSPP foundation. The deposit and the rates mentioned in the schedule are net rates. Charges for local taxes, banking costs or any supplementary cost will be invoiced extra to the company.

Newly certified GSPP Participants and certified sites of GSPP Participants are invoiced for a proportionate part of the year for the annual fee.
