Back 16. In which language should the answer be given?

The reply must be sent in the language of the requested state. No translation is therefore required from the authorities of the requested state. However, the states concerned may by mutual agreement decide that the reply should be in another language (such as English or French - see the summary tables on preferred languages of the states parties).
