SUMMARY — CASE T-141/01 R 
Those requesting and receiving Community 
financial assistance are, in particular, 
required to ensure that they give the 
Commission reliable information that is 
not likely to mislead it, failing which the 
system of checks and evidence set up to 
verify whether the conditions attaching to 
the grant of the assistance are satisfied 
cannot function correctly. Without reliable 
information projects that do not fulfil the 
requisite conditions would be able to 
receive financial assistance. It follows that 
the duty of information and of sincere 
cooperation which falls on those requesting 
or receiving assistance is inherent in the 
system of assistance under the EAGGF and 
is essential to its proper functioning.
