Standard appeal fee per Rule 6 EPC-Gebühren v2024-04-01 was raised from 2.255€ to 2.925€; reduced fee per Rule 7a(2)(a-d) was raised from 1.880€ to 2.015€. Both stale in calc.EPAFees, surfaced wrong amount on /tools/kostenrechner and /tools/gebuehrentabellen EPA tab. Reduced-fee tier is updated for data accuracy; UI surfacing of that tier is deferred per m's call (out of scope for this task).
