Payments due under Article 10 shall indicate in the reference field the identity of the appellant(s) and, if available, the number of the decision that is being appealed.

2.   If the purpose of the payment cannot be established, the Agency shall set a deadline by which the payer must notify it in writing of the purpose of the payment.
