1.3 Form and content

Overview

1.3.2 Facts and submissions 

A revised version of this publication entered into force.

Facts and submissions have to be given in so far as they are significant for the decision.

Under facts, a brief description of the case and a summary of the main reasons on which the decision is based and of the most important replies of the parties is given. These points, however, are to be covered in detail in the subsequent reasoning.
