(2) The Member States have had an opportunity to request the launch of a conciliation procedure. That opportunity has been used in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been examined by the Commission. (3) In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, only agricultural expenditure, which has been incurred in a way that has not infringed Union law may be financed. (4) In the light of the verifications carried out, the outcome of the bilateral discussions and the conciliation procedures, part of the expenditure declared by the Member States does not fulfil this requirement and cannot therefore be financed under the EAGF and the EAFRD. (5) The amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGF and the EAFRD should be indicated. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than twenty-four months before the Commission’s written notification of the results of the verifications to the Member States. (6) The amounts excluded from Union financing by the present Decision should also take into account any reductions or suspensions in accordance with Article 41 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 due to the fact that such reductions or suspensions are of a provisional nature and without prejudice to decisions taken pursuant to Articles 51 or 52 of that Regulation. (7) As regards the cases covered by this decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non- compliance with Union law was notified by the Commission to the Member States in a summary report on the subject(2). (8) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union in cases pending on 31 January 2021, (1) OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 549.
