Artikel 10

Any claim or appeal that, under the legislation of a Contracting Party, should have been submitted within a specified time to an institution of that Party shall be admissible if it is submitted within the same period to a corresponding institution of another Contracting Party. In such event the institution receiving the claim or appeal shall forward it without delay to the institution of the First Parties competent to deal with it either directly or through the intermediary of the competent authorities of the Contracting Party concerned. The date on which any claim or appeal was submitted to an institution of the second Party shall be deemed to be the date of its submission to the institution competent to deal with it.
The claims, declarations, appeals and other papers submitted to an authority or to an institution of a Contracting Party with a view to application of this Agreement shall not be rejected on the ground that they are drafted in an official language of another Contracting Party.
