Question juridique clé
Whether the Belgian request satisfied formal MLAT requirements and was sufficiently specific
Solution extraite
The request was sufficiently clear and could be supplemented by the written questions; no refusal was warranted.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that the request need only state object, reasons, legal qualification and essential facts. The Belgian request, though sparse, met these standards and did not amount to an indiscriminate search for evidence.
