English translation:charges for services
Explanation:
The above comments are spot on. We really need to know the sector. But as a general rule, I would say that "charges" is more commonly used than "fees".

price(s) for services


Explanation:
Since this looks like a contract (or perhaps conditions of sale) I think it is probably less risky to use the above expression

I have just noticed your answer to Marc. The word "fees" is used in the sector you mention (care for the elderly, etc.)
See http://www.jrf.org.uk/pressroom/releases/160698.asp

"Study reveals £80 million gap between fees and state funding for elderly people in care homes

Thousands of elderly and disabled people living in independent care homes are having to depend on 'top up' payments from relatives, charities or their personal spending allowances because state payments are too low to cover basic costs.

Research published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation estimates that £80 million a year is being spent on bridging the gap between care home fees and the amount that state agencies are willing to pay. Elderly and disabled people who moved into residential care before 1993 - whose fees are paid directly by the Department of Social Security (DSS) - are especially likely to be in need of top-up payments. "



http://www.nhfa.co.uk/modules/standard/viewpage.asp?id=1

"NHFA Care Fees Advice

NHFA advice and information is available to all regardless of means and encompasses the many financial and funding issues older people, their families or carers should consider when obtaining and paying for care."

http://www.seniorsnetwork.co.uk/health/personalcare.htm

"Anyone currently in a care home who wants to apply for free personal or nursing care must notify their local authority.

People currently having care home fees funded by the local authority (about 25,000 people over 65 in Scotland) will continue to contribute their state pension and benefit income and will not be affected by the new free personal care policy.

People over 65 who currently fund their own care home fees in full (about 7,500 people in Scotland) will not need to be assessed – those now in residential homes will receive £145 for personal care per week, and those in nursing homes will get £210 per week for personal plus nursing care.

People over 65 who currently pay part of their fees but receive a ‘top up’ from the local authority: "

agree  Anne J (X): I believe fee is more appropriate than price or rate
37 mins
  -> Thank you Anne :-)
agree  Josephine79: Yes, fee sounds better to me, too.
3 hrs
  -> Thank you Josephine79 :-)
neutral  Marc Glinert: do you, Anne? Only really for white collar professionals (legal fees, doctor's fees...)
19 hrs
  -> I agree with you that it depends on the sector. However fees are not exclusively limited to white collar professionals. I have seen the word "fees" used for computer repair services, for instance.

Notes to answerer
Asker: This is about a fair based on services offered to disabled and elderly dependent people.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Anna Quail: Marc, I agree with most of your comments. To me "price" is factual, "rates" is a translator's reflex answer, because it's the term we use for our profession.// OK - I stand corrected :-) The question is about the "tarif des prestations", however.
19 hrs
  -> the sector here, FrenchtoEnglish, is Marketing (trade fairs) and not care for the old/disabled. It is floor space which is being sold and not ambulance rides
