Dá réir sin, d'fhéadfaí Coinbhinsiún Apastaile na Háige a úsáid fós, arna iarraidh sin do dhuine, sa chaidreamh idir na Ballstáit.
Accordingly, the Apostille Convention could still be used, at a person's request, in relations between Member States.
Is páirtithe conarthacha iad na Ballstáit ar fad i gCoinbhinsiún na Háige, an 5 Deireadh Fómhair 1961, lena gCuirtear Deireadh leis an gCeangal Fíoraithe i gcás Doiciméad Poiblí Coigríche (“Coinbhinsiún Apastaile na Háige”), lenar tugadh isteach córas le haghaidh cúrsaíocht shimplithe doiciméad poiblí arna n-eisiúint ag na Stáit Chonarthacha sa Choinbhinsiún sin.
All Member States are contracting parties to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (the ‘Apostille Convention’), which introduced a system for the simplified circulation of public documents issued by Contracting States to that Convention.
Maidir le Coinbhinsiún Apastaile na Háige, cé nár cheart go mbeadh sé indéanta d'údaráis na mBallstát apastail a éileamh nuair a dhéanann duine doiciméad poiblí, a chumhdaítear leis an Rialachán seo agus a eisíodh i mBallstát eile, a chur ina láthair, níor cheart, de bhíthin an Rialacháin seo, cosc a chur ar na Ballstáit apastail a eisiúint i gcás ina roghnaíonn duine apastail a iarraidh.
As regards the Apostille Convention, while it should not be possible for Member States' authorities to require an apostille when a person presents to them a public document covered by this Regulation and issued in another Member State, this Regulation should not prevent Member States from issuing an apostille where a person chooses to request it.
