               — the reliability of the catch figures forwarded by the Member State to the Commission and the
                   Member State's success in preventing the overfishing of its quotas,
               — the amount and the efficacy of the human and material resources devoted by the Member State to
                   fisheries enforcement,
               — the degree of cooperation in fisheries enforcement between the Member State and other Member
                   States and the Commission,
               — in appropriate cases, the Member State's contribution to fisheries enforcement in areas governed by
                   international Conventions to which the Community is a Contracting Party.
           5. The reimbursement of expenditure and the payment of advances shall be made only if the provisions of
               the Directives coordinating procedures for the award of public works and supply contracts have been
               complied with, in the sense that the certificates for payment must make reference to the notices on the
               award of public contracts, published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. In case of

               performance of its duties under this Decision.

               Community under this Decision are not being used for the intended purpose or in accordance with the
               conditions defined under this Decision, it shall so inform the Member State concerned. The Member
               State shall then conduct an administrative inquiry in which Commission officials may participate. The
               Member State shall inform the Commission of the progress and results of the inquiry and provide the
               Commission with a copy of the report of the inquiry and the main points used in the preparation of the
               report.
               The Commission may carry out checks on the fulfilment of their duties under this Decision by the
               Member States, which shall provide assistance to the staff appointed by the Commission for this
               purpose.
               The provisions of this paragraph shall be without prejudice to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No
               2241/87 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (').
