You've paid the first two at EHGG direct. The third one is now invoiced via Eurocontrol.
Here's the link explaining how this works. As others said, as far as Terminal Charges are concerned, Eurocontrol just acts as the debt collector.

(And I was mistaken in my earlier post. The German ATC provider does NOT use Eurocontrol for Terminal Charges.)
Thanks for clearing the matter up, I will expect to receive these again on my next trip.
