83With this in mind, it should be observed that the criteria for determining responsibility set out in Articles 8 to 10 of the Regulation, read in the light of recitals 13 and 14 thereof, are intended to promote the best interests of the child and the family life of the persons concerned, which are moreover guaranteed in Articles 7 and 24 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. In those circumstances, a Member State cannot, in accordance with the principle of sincere cooperation, properly make a take back request, in a situation covered by Article 20(5) of the regulation, when the person concerned has provided the competent authority with information clearly establishing that that Member State must be regarded as the Member State responsible for examining the application pursuant to those criteria for determining responsibility. In such a situation, it is, on the contrary, for that Member State to accept its own responsibility.
