18While acknowledging that Framework Decision 2005/214 does not contain any provision explicitly stating an obligation to provide the addressee of a decision imposing a financial penalty with a translation thereof, the referring court considers, however, that, like notifications concerning offences falling within the scope of Directive (EU) 2015/413 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2015 facilitating the cross-border exchange of information on road-safety-related traffic offences (OJ 2015 L 68, p. 9), and of Directive 2010/64/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2010 on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings (OJ 2010 L 280, p. 1), any decision imposing a financial penalty in the context of Framework Decision 2005/214 is to be served on the sentenced person in a language he or she understands so that he or she can exercise his or her rights of the defence and so as to guarantee his or her right to a fair trial.
