the degree of responsibility of the Union institution, body, office or agency, taking into account technical and organisational measures implemented by them; |
|
(c) |
any action taken by the Union institution, body, office or agency to mitigate the damage suffered by affected persons; |

|
(e) |
any similar previous infringements by the Union institution, body, office or agency; |
