Art. 18 Provisional Measures
(1) Upon explicit request by another State, provisional measures may be taken by the com-
petent authority to preserve the existing situation, to safeguard threatened legal interests or to
protect jeopardized evidence if the proceeding according to this act does not appear obviously
inadmissible or inappropriate.
(2) If any delay were to jeopardize the proceedings and if there is sufficient informa-tion so
as to determine whether all the conditions are met, the Federal Office may likewise order these
measures as soon as a request is announced. These measures shall be lifted if the foreign State
does not make the request within the deadline set.
(3) Objections and appeals filed against decrees based on this article do not have sus-pensive
effect.
