- If the applicant fails to pay the increased costs within the fixed period, the application is treated as withdrawn.

The increased-costs direction may require payment receipt by a specified date. Retain its wording, recipient communication country and payment evidence. Article 4 treatment of a fixed day period does not prove when a transfer was received.
