Costs allocation: extraordinary assistance costs above a specified threshold may be borne by the requesting party after prior consultation. Allocation of costs distinguishes ordinary costs, borne by the Requested Party, from extraordinary costs, which, if they exceed a specified threshold, are generally borne by the Requesting Party subject to prior consultation. Competent authorities must consult in advance where extraordinary costs are likely to exceed the threshold and may agree whether the Requesting Party will continue the request and assume the costs. Illustrative extraordinary costs include third party copying fees, interpreter and translator fees, document conveyance, litigation costs related to a specific request, and costs for depositions or testimony.
