Article 3 Multiyear rate agreements in rate audits<br />

The rates agreed in the framework of rate audits are established for the specific audited<br />

year, and also for the following two years, these are referred to as “forward-looking<br />

rates”.<br />

Article 3.1 Updating method<br />

The forward-looking rates are established based on the agreed rate for the current year,<br />

and updated taking into account the following elements:<br />

1.- Forward-looking macroeconomic indicators (inflation, salary forecast, material<br />

costs);<br />

2.- Expected company productivity targets;<br />

3.- Fluctuations in forecast business volume (institutional and commercial, space and<br />

non-space) for the audited companies.<br />

Article 4 Applicability of new rates<br />

A newly negotiated rate is effectively implemented as soon as it is agreed by <strong>ESA</strong><br />

auditors and the industrial representatives.<br />

Following the agreement on the new rates any subsequent new tender submission by<br />

the company should already contain the newly agreed rate; this is valid irrespective of<br />

the type of contract price.<br />

Article 4.1. Applicability of new rates for current/signed fixed price contracts<br />

Current/signed Fixed Price contracts are not affected by the new rate agreements,<br />

except for Contract Change Notices to be negotiated subsequent to new rate agreements<br />

unless otherwise agreed in the contract.
