(23)Effective recovery is a means of preventing and tackling fraud and abuse and ensuring the smooth functioning of social security schemes. The recovery procedures provided for in Chapter III of Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 are based on the procedures and rules provided for in Council Directive 2008/55/ECnote. That Directive has been superseded by Council Directive 2010/24/EUnote, which introduced a uniform instrument to be used for enforcement measures as well as a standard form for the notification of instruments and measures relating to claims. In a review by the Administrative Commission, most Member States found it advantageous to use a uniform instrument for enforcement similar to that provided for by Directive 2010/24/EU. It is therefore necessary that the rules for mutual assistance in recovery of social security claims reflect the new measures in Directive 2010/24/EU, in order to ensure more effective recovery and a smooth functioning of the coordination rules.
