Europol Public Information  i. Europol will arrange and pay for the hotel accommodation for the  Contractor’s Personnel . Subject to a contractual need to provide services which are only separated by a weekend or  one or more public holidays recognised as such by Europol,  Contractor’s Personnel  and Europol  may agree that Europol arranges and pays for hotel accommodation also for such periods if  the costs thereof do not exceed the travel costs which could otherwise have been necessary;  and ii. Europol will provide the  Contractor’s Personnel  with a fixed subsistence allowance of EUR 50  (fifty EURO) per person for every 8 (eight) hours of completed work. Any additional billable  hours below 4 (four) hours shall be compensated at a rate of EUR 25 (twenty five EURO) per  person. Any additional billable hours between 4 (four) and 8 (eight) hours shall be  compensated at a rate of EUR 35 (thirty five EURO) per person.  7. All related original supporting documents (including boarding passes where the date, time and  destination is indicated), as well as the original receipts of payment shall be provided to Europol as  evidence for reimbursements.  8. Travel time is not considered working time. Except as specified in this Article, the  Contractor  is not  entitled to other reimbursements and/or may not charge to Europol any other costs with respect of  travel, accommodation and subsistence. 9. Applicable reimbursement of travel, accommodation and expenses shall be paid by Europol to the  Contractor  under this Article. The  Contractor  is solely responsible for payment of the amounts owed  to its  Personnel  as part of their  Due Remuneration . No direct payment from Europol to  Contractor’s   will be made under this  Framework Contract .  10. Each  Specific Contract  or  Purchase Order shall identify whether any costs under this Article are  payable by Europol and shall indicate the maximum financial burden for Europol in this regard to  ensure that appropriate budgetary arrangements can be made in advance. In the absence of such  specific reference, no costs under this Article are payable by Europol.  1. If the  Contractor fails to deliver the goods and/or provide the services in full or in part or in  accordance with the quality requirements stipulated in the  Framework Contract  and/or as provided  in a  Specific Contract  or  Purchase Order , Europol may reduce the amount(s) due, in proportion to  the seriousness of the non-performed obligations or to the lower quality  Deliverables . This includes  the specific case where Europol cannot approve or finally accept a result, report or  Deliverable , even  after the  Contractor submitted the required additional information, correction or new version of  result, report or  Deliverable . 2. Instead of reducing the amount(s) due, Europol may terminate the Specific Contract, Purchase  Order and /or the Framework Contract in accordance with Article II- 22 (3, ii) (“Termination”).  Europol may also choose to off-set any payments already made in the implementation of the  Framework Contract  against  Contractor’s  future invoices (if Europol elects to do this it is entitled to  raise a recovery order as a means of effecting off-setting). 3. Reduction in the price due or off-setting may be used together with liquidated damages imposed on  the  Contractor  under Article II-23 (“Liquidated damages”). 4. If Europol wishes to reduce or off-set the price to be paid, it must send a  Formal notification  to the  Contractor  and allow it a reasonable period of time to discharge of its obligations or to implement  Page 39 of 79  Europol’s initials:  Contractor’s initials:  Article II-11  Reduction in payment and off-setting
