33It is apparent from Articles 98 and 99 of Regulation No 1083/2006, read in the light of recital 65 of that regulation, that it falls, in the first instance, on the Member State to monitor the proper use of the funds and to determine, as the case may be, the existence of an irregularity, within the meaning of Article 2(7) of that regulation. The first subparagraph of Article 98(2) of that same regulation thus makes it clear that the Member States are under an obligation to carry out financial corrections when they detect irregularities in operations or operational programmes (see, to that effect, judgments of 26 May 2016, Județul Neamț and Județul Bacău, C‑260/14 and C‑261/14, EU:C:2016:360, paragraph 48, and of 6 December 2017, Compania Naţională de Administrare a Infrastructurii Rutiere, C‑408/16, EU:C:2017:940, paragraphs 64 and 65).
