Costs allocation in mutual assistance: extraordinary costs above a specified threshold may be borne by the requesting party after consultation. Allocation divides costs into ordinary costs, borne by the requested Party, and extraordinary costs, which the requesting Party will bear where they exceed a specified threshold. Competent authorities must consult in advance when extraordinary costs are likely to exceed the threshold to determine whether the requesting Party will continue the request and assume the costs. Ordinary costs include internal administration and minor external expenses. Examples of extraordinary costs include third party copying fees, interpreter or expert fees, document conveyance, litigation costs tied to a specific request, and costs for depositions or testimony.
