Suggest you read the EASA scale of charges for 2007/2008 on the EASA website. The initial application fee for a CAMO in accordance with Part M subpart G is Eu 24000, and renewal is 18000. This is the new fee above and beyond the current Part 145 approval or BCAR M3 approval that companies must pay in order to carry out the paperwork for ARC renewal that they currently do as part of scheduled maintenance
Why would I refer to that unless I was based outside the EU or I wanted design or type certificate approval.
If I was in the UK, I would look for the charges here;

Provided that for the purposes of sub-paragraphs a) to f) above where the cost of the
investigations exceeds the charge specified, the applicant shall pay a charge of such
amount as may be decided by the CAA having regard to the expense incurred by it in
making the investigations, see paragraph 6.4, but not exceeding £106,000 for any year,
or part of the year, during which the investigations are carried out.
5.1.2 Variation charges

(This Note is not part of the Scheme)
1. If applied for, and without extra charge, the grant of a Part-M Subpart G approval may include a Subpart
I privilege that would permit the applicant to issue Airworthiness Review Certificates.[/I]
There is more if you look at the whole document.
The UK CAA is expensive but not such a drastic expense that some would believe.

AC-DC,
Us (you and me) Europeans simply have to accept that living in the past is no good.

Robin,
I think that you will have to include every other country on earth along with the French. ICAO do not recognise it and no UK pilot has ever obtained permission to make use of it outside the UK, CI and IOM.
