49First, Article 13(1) of that directive provides that Member States are to impose upon applicants for international protection the obligation to cooperate with the competent authorities with a view to establishing their identity and other elements referred to in Article 4(2) of Directive 2011/95, which are necessary to substantiate their application. Under Article 13(1), Member States may impose on those applicants other obligations concerning cooperation with the competent authorities in so far as those obligations are necessary for the processing of the application, including the obligation laid down in Article 13(2)(a) of Directive 2013/32 requiring those applicants to report to the competent authorities or to appear before them in person, either without delay or at a specified time. The latter obligation corresponds to one of the obligations which if not complied with may lead to the reduction or withdrawal of material reception conditions on the basis of Article 20(1)(b) of Directive 2013/33.
