Article 54U.K.Common Provisions

1.For any undue payment following the occurrence of irregularity or negligence, [F1Member States][F1the relevant authority] shall request recovery from the beneficiary within 18 months after the approval and, where applicable, reception, by the paying agency or body responsible for the recovery, of a control report or similar document, stating that an irregularity has taken place. The corresponding amounts shall be recorded at the time of the recovery request in the debtors' ledger of the paying agency.

2.[F2If recovery has not taken place within four years from the date of the recovery request, or within eight years where recovery is taken in the national courts, 50 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the Union's budget, without prejudice to the requirement that the Member State concerned must pursue recovery procedures in compliance with Article 58.

Where, in the context of the recovery procedure, the absence of any irregularity is recorded by an administrative or legal instrument of a final nature, the Member State concerned shall declare as expenditure to the Funds the financial burden borne by it under the first subparagraph.

However, if for reasons not attributable to the Member State concerned, it is not possible for recovery to take place within the time limit specified in the first subparagraph, and the amount to be recovered exceeds EUR 1 million, the Commission may, at the request of the Member State, extend the time-limit by a period of up to half of the original period.]

3.On duly justified grounds, [F3Member States][F3the relevant authority] may decide not to pursue recovery. A decision to this effect may be taken only in the following cases:

(a)where the costs already and likely to be effected total more than the amount to be recovered, which condition shall be considered to have been met if:

(i)

the amount to be recovered from the beneficiary in the context of an individual payment for an aid scheme or support measure, not including interest, does not exceed EUR 100; or

(ii)

[F4the amount to be recovered from the beneficiary in the context of an individual payment for an aid scheme or support measure, not including interest, falls between EUR 100 and EUR 250 and the [F5Member State][F5relevant authority] concerned applies a threshold equal to or higher than the amount to be recovered under [F6its national law][F6the law applying in the constituent nation] for not pursuing national debts.]

(b)where recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under [F7national law][F7the law applying in the constituent nation], of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity.

[F8Where the decision referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph is taken before the outstanding amount has been subject to the rules referred to in paragraph 2, the financial consequence of non-recovery shall be borne by the Union's budget.]

4.[F9Member States shall enter in the annual accounts to be sent to the Commission under point (c)(iv) of Article 102(1) the amounts to be borne by them under paragraph 2 of this Article. The Commission shall check that this has been done and make any adjustments needed in the implementing act referred to in Article 51.]

5.[F9The Commission may, provided that the procedure laid down in Article 52(3) has been followed, adopt, implementing acts, excluding from Union financing sums charged to the Union's budget in the following cases:

(a)if the Member State has not respected the time limits referred to in paragraph 1;

(b)if it considers that the decision not to pursue recovery taken by a Member State pursuant to paragraph 3 is not justified;

(c)if it considers that an irregularity or lack of recovery is the outcome of irregularity or negligence attributable to the administrative authorities or another official body of the Member State.

Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 116(2).]
