1.For any undue payment following the occurrence of irregularity or negligence, [F38the relevant authority] shall request recovery from the beneficiary [F39within 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.

3.On duly justified grounds, [F41the 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 [F42EUR 100] [F42£100]; or

(ii)

[F43the 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 [F44EUR 100] [F44£100] and [F45EUR 250] [F45£250] and the [F46relevant authority] concerned applies a threshold equal to or higher than the amount to be recovered under [F47the law applying in the constituent nation] for not pursuing national debts.]

(b)where recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under [F48the law applying in the constituent nation], of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity.
