Article 22
1. In the context of decentralised management, the Commission shall undertake the financial implementation of EDF resources in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. As provided for in the case of centralised management, the Commission may delegate residual tasks to bodies referred to in Article 25(2) to (5). 2. The beneficiary ACP States or OCTs shall: (a) conduct regular checks to ensure that the actions to be financed by EDF resources have been implemented correctly; (b) take appropriate measures to prevent irregularities and fraud and, if necessary, bring legal proceedings to recover funds wrongly paid. 3. In order to ensure that funds are used in accordance with the applicable rules and within the limits of powers thereby conferred upon it, the Commission shall apply clearance-of-accounts procedures or financial correction mechanisms which enable it to discharge its obligations under the ACP-EC Agreement, in particular under Article 34(1) of Annex IV thereto, and under the Overseas Association Decision, in particular under Articles 20 and 32 thereof. 4. Partner countries and territories to which implementation tasks are delegated shall ensure, in conformity with Article 14(3), adequate annual ex post publication of beneficiaries of funds deriving from the EDF.
