If the examination concerns the contents of the consignment, this shall be carried out as far as possible in the presence of the person entitled; where this is not possible, the carrier shall require the presence of two independent witnesses, unless the laws and prescriptions of the State where the examination takes place provide otherwise.
Če se preverjanje nanaša na vsebino pošiljke, se opravi, če je le mogoče, v navzočnosti upravičenca; če pa to ni mogoče, mora prevoznik pritegniti k sodelovanju dve neodvisni priči, če zakoni in predpisi države, v kateri se opravlja preverjanje, ne določajo drugače.
