Is mandatory handling fair?

What do you mean fair? We'd probably all agree that mandatory handling isn't required anywhere. After all how much handling does a light aircraft need? Other than coffee and cake of course. Maybe a splash of fuel. The cafe can provide the C&C.

Just for clarification, 'normal' Oxford (Kidlington) / EGTK/OXF published fees (piston singles under 2.73 tonnes) are £16.50+VAT landing, £16+VAT parking 24 hrs and £15+VAT for an ILS approach - HOWEVER, we are extending the current visitor offer through the winter (2017/2018) which is (for piston singles under 2.73 tonnes):

£10 incl. VAT for landing - or free with uplift of 45 litres fuel
£10 incl. VAT for 24 hrs parking
£5 incl. VAT for an ILS approach

Accordingly, these costs are far less than those in the table above. Chances are we will stick with these visitor incentives/offers for the time being as volumes (ad-hoc visiting light GA vs. residential based A/C activity) are relatively low.

The main debate is whether mandatory handling is legal under EU regulations, arguably it isn't.

Landing and Parking charges are legal and may be imposed as airfields choose. Sensible airfield management will pitch those to attract revenue using spare capacity at marginal cost. Oxford seem to have a vague grasp of that concept at least :roll:
