45In that context, the 2013 Guidelines, mentioned by the referring court, which define the scale of the financial correction rates applicable under, inter alia, Article 99 of Regulation No 1083/2006, which relates to the criteria applicable to financial corrections made by the Commission, may be taken into consideration in order to give concrete expression to the criteria set out in Article 98(2) of that regulation, in other words, the criteria applicable to financial corrections made by the Member States. Although those guidelines do not bind the Member States, they are nevertheless recommended, in point 1.1 thereof, ‘to apply the same criteria and rates when correcting [inter alia, under Article 98 of that regulation,] irregularities detected by their own services’.
