(a)not to fix a maximum amount of the aid; or
(b)to fix a maximum amount of the aid.

The paying agency shall only accept tenders that have been notified in accordance with Article 42.
3.The paying agency shall take the decisions referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article after the publication of the decision of the Commission referred to in Article 43(1).
