Art.10.3.c (c) the historic catch in an area;
Art.10.3.d (d) the needs of small island developing States, and territories and possessions, in the Convention Area whose economies, food supplies and livelihoods are overwhelmingly dependent on the exploitation of marine living resources;
Art.10.3.e (e) the respective contributions of participants to conservation and management of the stocks, including the provision by them of accurate data and their contribution to the conduct of scientific research in the Convention Area;
Art.10.3.f (f) the record of compliance by the participants with conservation and management measures;
