1.Member States shall ensure that when determining the type and level of administrative sanctions, competent authorities take into account all relevant circumstances in order to apply proportionate sanctions, including, where appropriate:
(c)the financial strength of the person responsible for the infringement, as indicated, for example, by the total turnover of a legal person or the annual personal income of a natural person;
(e)the level of cooperation of the person responsible for the infringement with the competent authority, without prejudice to the need to ensure disgorgement of profits gained or losses avoided by that person;
(h)the disadvantage for the person responsible for the infringement resulting from the duplication of criminal and administrative proceedings and penalties for the same conduct.
2.In the exercise of their powers to impose administrative sanctions and other administrative measures under Article 30, competent authorities shall cooperate closely to ensure that the exercise of their supervisory and investigative powers, and the administrative sanctions that they impose, and the other administrative measures that they take, are effective and appropriate under this Regulation. They shall coordinate their actions in accordance with Article 25 in order to avoid duplication and overlaps when exercising their supervisory and investigative powers and when imposing administrative sanctions in respect of cross-border cases.
