Artikel 9

If a competent institution has issued an enforceable decision within the meaning of article 8 and the beneficiary concerned receives a benefit from a competent institution of the other Contracting Party, the former competent institution may request that the payment in question or the administrative penalty be balanced against the arrears or amounts still due to the beneficiary in that Contracting Party. The latter competent institution shall deduct the amount within the limits of the law applied by that competent institution governing the execution of similar decisions, and will remit the amount to the former competent institution entitled to reimbursement.
