The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision. Article 2 The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to give the notice referred to in Article 1 on behalf of the Community. Done at Brussels, 22 November 1996. For the Council The President S. BARRETT (1)  Portugal did not sign the Agreement.

The request for information shall be established on the form corresponding to the specimen contained in Annex II to this Appendix. Notification Article 5 1. The requested authority shall, at the request of the applicant authority, and in accordance with the rules of law in force for the notification of similar instruments or decisions in the country in which the requested authority is situated, notify to the addressee all instruments and decisions, including those of a judicial nature, which emanate from the country in which the applicant authority is situated and which relate to a claim and/or to its recovery. 2.

For this purpose any claim in respect of which a request for recovery has been made shall be treated as a claim of the country in which the requested authority is situated, except where Article 12 applies. Article 7 1. The request for recovery of a claim which the applicant authority addresses to the requested authority must be accompanied by an official or certified copy of the instrument permitting its enforcement, issued in the country in which the applicant authority is situated and, if appropriate, by the original or a certified copy of other documents necessary for recovery. 2. The applicant authority may not make a request for recovery unless: (a) the claim and/or the instrument permitting its enforcement are not contested in the country in which it is situated; (b) it has, in the country in which it is situated, applied the recovery procedure available to it on the basis of the instrument referred to in paragraph 1, and the measures taken have not resulted in the payment in full of the claim; (c) the claim exceeds ECU 1 500.

They may not be refused if the instrument permitting enforcement in the country in which the applicant authority is situated is properly drawn up. If any of these formalities should give rise to an examination or contestation in connection with the claim and/or the instrument permitting enforcement issued by the applicant authority, Article 12 shall apply. Article 9 1. Claims shall be recovered in the currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated. 2. The requested authority may, where the laws, regulations or administrative provisions in force in the country in which it is situated so permit, and after consultations with the applicant authority, allow the debtor time to pay or authorize payment by instalment. Any interest charged by the requested authority in respect of such extra time to pay shall be remitted to the applicant authority. Any other interest charged for late payment under the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in force in the country in which the requested authority is situated shall also be remitted to the applicant authority.

As soon as the requested authority has received the notification referred to in paragraph 1 either from the applicant authority or from the interested party, it shall suspend the enforcement procedure pending the decision of the body competent in the matter. Should the requested authority deem it necessary, and without prejudice to Article 13, that authority may take precautionary measures to guarantee recovery insofar as the laws or regulations in force in the country in which it is situated allow such action for similar claims. 3. Where the enforcement measures taken in the country in which the requested authority is situated are contested, the action shall be brought before the competent body of that country in accordance with its laws and regulations. 4. Where the competent body before which the action has been brought in accordance with paragraph 1 is a, judicial or administrative tribunal, the decision of that tribunal, insofar as it is favourable to the applicant authority and permits recovery of the claim in the country in which the applicant authority is situated shall constitute the “instrument permitting enforcement” within the meaning of Articles 6, 7 and 8 and the recovery of the claim shall proceed on the basis of that decision. Precautionary measures Article 13 1. On a reasoned request by the applicant authority, the requested authority shall take precautionary measures to ensure recovery of a claim insofar as the laws or regulations in force in the country in which it is situated so permit. 2.

The request for precautionary measures shall be established on the form corresponding to the specimen contained in Annex IV to this Appendix.

(c) to undertake recovery of a claim if the applicant authority has not exhausted the means of recovery in the territory of the country in which it is situated. The requested authority shall inform the applicant authority of the grounds for refusing a request for assistance. Article 15 1. Questions concerning periods of limitation shall be governed solely by the laws in force in the country in which the applicant authority is situated. 2. Steps taken in the recovery of claims by the requested authority in pursuance of a request for assistance which, if they had been carried out by the applicant authority, would have had the effect of suspending or interrupting the period of limitation according to the laws in force in the country in which the applicant authority is situated, shall be deemed to have been taken in the latter country, insofar as that effect is concerned. Confidentiality Article 16 Documents and information sent to the requested authority pursuant to this Appendix may only be communicated by the latter to: (a) the person mentioned in the request for assistance; (b) those persons and authorities responsible for the recovery of the claims, and solely for that purpose; (c) the judicial authorities dealing with matters concerning the recovery of the claims.

Articles 20 to 22 (This Appendix contains no Articles 20 to 22. ) Complementarity Article 23 The provisions of this Appendix shall not prevent a greater measure of mutual assistance being afforded either now or in the future by particular countries under any agreements or arrangements, including those for the notification of legal or extra-legal acts.

If the amendment consists of an increase in the amount of the claim, the applicant authority shall as soon as possible address to the requested authority an additional request for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures. This additional request shall, as far as possible, be dealt with by the requested authority at the same time as the original request of the applicant authority. Where, in view of the state of progress of the existing procedure, the joinder of the additional request and the original request is not possible, the requested authority shall only be required to comply with the additional request if it concerns an amount not less than that referred to in Article 7 of Appendix IV. 3.

Article 18 Any sum recovered by the requested authority, including, where applicable, the interest referred to in Article 9 (2) of Appendix IV, shall be the subject of a transfer to the applicant authority in the currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated. This transfer shall take place within one month of the date on which the recovery was effected.
