The flat-rate shipping fee is 4.95 Euros. The flat-rate shipping fee includes the statutory value-added tax (VAT). Since the VAT on the flat-rate shipping fee is calculated based on the purchased goods, it can be reduced if goods are purchased at lower VAT rates (e.g., when purchasing books). This means that the flat-rate shipping fee can only be finally calculated during the ordering process. However, it can never increase, but only decrease in your favor.
