Carrying out the duties of a public official responsible for authenticating instruments, giving them both evidential value and enforceability, shall remain the sole preserve of notaries in the Member States in which notaries are tasked with such duties.
Izvajanje funkcije javnega uslužbenca, s katero se aktom dodeli avtentičnost, tj. dokazno moč in izvršljivost, mora ostati v izključni pristojnosti notarjev v državah članicah, v katerih opravljajo te naloge.
