29Next, as regards the second criterion laid down in point (c) of the second subparagraph of Article 1(9) of Directive 2004/18, relating to management supervision by the public authorities, it must be recalled that, in principle, a review ex post facto does not satisfy that criterion, for such a review does not enable the public authorities to influence the decisions of the body in question in relation to public contracts (see, to that effect, Case C-373/00 Adolf Truley [2003] ECR I-1931, paragraph 70). That is the case, in principle, of a general review of legality conducted ex post facto by a supervisory authority and, a fortiori, of an action taken by that authority in the form of approval of the body’s decision fixing the amount of contributions which provide for the greater part of its financing, which is confined to ascertaining that the body’s budget is balanced.
