Requirements for the issuing of the certificate
Article 6
1. The certificate may only be issued if the protection measure has been brought to the notice of the person causing the risk in accordance with the law of the Member State of origin. 2. Where the protection measure was ordered in default of appearance, the certificate may only be issued if the person causing the risk had been served with the document which instituted the proceeding or an equivalent document or, where relevant, had been otherwise informed of the initiation of the proceeding in accordance with the law of the Member State of origin in sufficient time and in such a way as to enable that person to arrange for his or her defence. 3. Where the protection measure was ordered under a procedure that does not provide for prior notice to be given to the person causing the risk (‘ ex-parte proceeding’), the certificate may only be issued if that person had the right to challenge the protection measure under the law of the Member State of origin.
