Article 22

If the request for recovery or for precautionary measures becomes devoid of purpose as a result of payment of the claim or of its cancellation or for any other reason, the applicant authority shall immediately inform the requested authority so that the latter may stop any action which it has undertaken.

Where the amount of the claim which is the subject of the request for recovery or for precautionary measures is adjusted by a decision of the competent body referred to in Article 14(1) of Directive 2010/24/EU, the applicant authority shall inform the requested authority of that decision and, if recovery is requested, communicate a revised uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State. This revised uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State shall be made by or under the responsibility of the applicant authority, on the basis of the decision adjusting the amount of the claim.

A revised uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State does not have any consequences with regard to the possibilities to contest the initial claim, the initial instrument permitting enforcement in the applicant Member State or the decision referred to in the preceding subparagraph.

If the adjustment referred to in paragraph 2 entails a reduction in the amount of the claim, the requested authority shall continue its action to take recovery or precautionary measures, but that action shall be limited to the amount still outstanding.

If, at the time when the requested authority is informed of the reduction in the amount of the claim, an amount exceeding the amount still outstanding has already been recovered by it but the transfer procedure referred to in Article 23 has not yet been initiated, the requested authority shall repay the amount overpaid to the person entitled thereto.

Where the adjustment referred to in paragraph 2 entails an increase in the amount of the claim, the applicant authority may address to the requested authority an amended request for recovery or for precautionary measures.

That amended request shall, as far as possible, be dealt with by the requested authority at the same time as the initial request from the applicant authority. Where, in view of the state of progress of the existing procedure, consolidation of the amended request with the initial request is not possible, the requested authority shall comply with the amended request only if it concerns an amount not less than that referred to in Article 18(3) of Directive 2010/24/EU.

In order to convert the amount of the claim resulting from the adjustment referred to in paragraph 2 into the currency of the Member State of the requested authority, the applicant authority shall use the exchange rate used in its initial request.
