11.4. Supporting documentation may be filed in either procedural language. The parties and the Tribunal may cite a document prepared in either procedural language in its
[Page 8]
original language without the need to translate it into the other procedural language. However, the Committee may require that a party translate any document in whole or in part.
11.5. Translations need not be certified unless there is a dispute as to the translation provided and the party disputing the translation specifically requests a certified version.

11.7. The parties shall notify the Committee, as soon as possible, and no later than at the pre-hearing organizational meeting, of which witnesses or experts require interpretation.

15. Submission of Documents
Convention Article 44; Arbitration Rule 24
15.1. In the first exchange of submissions (i.e., Memorial and Counter-Memorial), the parties shall set forth all of the arguments on which they rely. In the second exchange of submissions (i.e., Reply and Rejoinder), the parties shall limit themselves to responding to the arguments made by the other party in the first exchange of submissions. The Memorial and Counter-Memorial shall be accompanied by the supporting documents relied upon by the parties, including exhibits and legal authorities (subject to the clarification in § 13.1.2). Further supporting documents relied upon by the parties in rebuttal shall be submitted with the Reply and Rejoinder.
15.2. Neither party shall be permitted to submit additional or responsive documents after
[Page 11]
the filing of its last written submission, unless the Committee determines that special circumstances exist based on a timely and reasoned written application (without attaching said documents) followed by observations from the other party.
15.3. Given the nature of an annulment proceeding, the Committee expects that the parties will refer primarily to the evidentiary record from the arbitration proceeding and it does not expect to receive new evidence (exhibits, witness statements, or expert reports).
15.4. Therefore, without prejudice to each party’s right to submit new legal authorities, no new evidence shall be admitted in this proceeding, unless the Committee determines that special circumstances exist based on a reasoned written request (without attaching said evidence) followed by observations from the other party. Any such application must be filed in sufficient time to allow for determination prior to the filing deadline for the next submission to which the proposed additional evidence relates.
15.5. Sections 15.3 and 15.4 shall not apply to new documentary evidence (i.e., exhibits) filed by the parties with their submissions on the issue of the stay of enforcement of the Award.
15.6. Documents shall be submitted in the manner and form set forth in §13.
15.7. Any documents introduced as exhibits or legal authorities in the annulment proceeding shall be labelled with numbers and organized in a clear order:
15.7.1. Exhibits already included in the evidentiary record of the underlying arbitration proceeding, as well as any new exhibits admitted in accordance with §§ 15.4 and 15.5 (if any), and legal authorities, shall be numbered consecutively throughout the entire annulment proceeding.
15.7.2. Accordingly, the Argentine Republic’s exhibits shall be submitted in PDF format using the following numbering “Anexo A RA 001" and its legal authorities shall be submitted in PDF format using the following numbering “AL A RA 001”. AES’s exhibits shall be submitted in PDF format using the following numbering “A/AES Ex. 001” and its legal authorities shall be submitted in PDF format using the following numbering “A/AES Auth. 001".
15.7.3. Any witness statements or expert reports from the underlying arbitration proceeding which are submitted in the annulment proceeding, as well as any new witness statements or expert opinions or reports admitted in accordance with §15.4 shall be labelled according to the naming convention contained in Annex A.
[Page 12]
15.7.4. The PDF numbering shall also indicate the language of the document e.g. Anexo A RA 001-ENG for a document submitted only in English, Anexo A RA 001-SPA for a document submitted only in Spanish and Anexo A RA 001-ENG/SPA for a document submitted simultaneously in English and Spanish.
15.7.5. Electronic files and the accompanying indexes shall follow the naming conventions contained in Annex A.
15.8. Copies of documentary evidence shall be assumed to be authentic unless specifically objected to by a party, in which case the Committee will determine whether authentication is necessary.
15.9. The parties shall file all documents only once by submitting them with their pleadings.
15.10. The parties may use PowerPoint slides and demonstrative exhibits (such as charts, tabulations, etc., compiling information which is on record but not presented in such form) during the annulment hearing, provided that they (i) identify the source in the record from which the information is derived, (ii) do not include information not in the record. The party submitting such PowerPoint slides or demonstrative exhibits shall provide them in electronic form to the other party, the Committee Members, the Secretary, the court reporter(s) and interpreter(s) at the hearing 15 minutes in advance of their use.
15.11. In addition, promptly after the conclusion of the Hearing day on which the corresponding demonstrative exhibit is used, the parties shall upload such demonstrative to the case folder in the BOX filesharing platform, designating each with the corresponding CD-___ or RD-___ number.
