21That simplified and uniform procedure is not adversarial. The defendant will not be aware that the European order for payment has been issued until it is served on him. As is apparent from Article 12(3) of Regulation No 1896/2006, it is only then that he is advised of his options either to pay the amount indicated in that order to the claimant or to oppose the order in the court of origin (judgment of 13 June 2013, Goldbet Sportwetten, C‑144/12, EU:C:2013:393, paragraph 29).
