Member States should be able to reduce or withdraw the daily expenses allowance or, where duly justified and proportionate, reduce other material reception conditions where certain conditions are met, including where the applicant does not cooperate with the competent authorities or does not comply with the procedural requirements established by them.

Member States should always ensure a standard of living for all applicants in accordance with Union law, including , and international obligations, taking into account applicants with special reception needs and the best interests of the child.
