Recital 13

(13) While the repayable amount, as a rule, should be available within seven working days, certain deposits might be subject to a longer repayment period because they require DGSs to verify the claim for repayment. To harmonise the rules across the Union, that longer repayment period should be limited to 20 working days from the date of the receipt by the DGS concerned of the relevant information or documentation. The situations in which that longer repayment period applies should be distinguished from situations where receipt of amounts made available by the DGS within the deadlines laid down in this Directive takes longer due to any operational steps the depositor needs to take.
