Contacts with Member States
Article 60
1. The Commission shall maintain appropriate contacts with the Member States concerned for the purpose of supplementing the information supplied on the irregularities referred to in Article 55, on the procedures referred to in Article 57, and, in particular, on the possibility of recovery. 2. Independently of the contacts referred to in paragraph 1 the Commission shall inform Member States where the nature of the irregularity is such as to suggest that identical or similar practices could occur in other Member States. 3. The Commission shall organise information meetings at Community level for representatives of the Member States in order to examine with them the information obtained pursuant to Articles 55, 56 and 57, and paragraph 1 of this Article. The examination shall focus on the lessons to be learned from the information in connection with irregularities, preventive measures and legal proceedings. 4. At the request of a Member State or the Commission, the Member State and the Commission shall consult with one another for the purpose of closing any loopholes prejudicial to Community interests which become apparent in the course of the enforcement of provisions in force.
