Every application under Article 15 shall be accompanied by -
a. a true copy of the relevant part of the decision showing the names and capacities of the parties and of the order for payment of costs or expenses;

c. a translation, certified as true, of the above-mentioned documents into the language of the requested State, if they are not in that language.
The application shall be determined without a hearing and the competent authority in the requested State shall be limited to examining whether the required documents have been produced. If so requested by the applicant, that authority shall determine the amount of the costs of attestation, translation and certification, which shall be treated as costs and expenses of the proceedings.
