      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Do the terms ‘reasonable and proportionate legal costs and other expenses’ in Article 14 of the Enforcement Directive (1) preclude the Belgian legislation which offers courts the possibility of taking into account certain well-defined features specific to the case and which provides for a system of varying flat rates in respect of costs for the assistance of a lawyer?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Do the terms ‘reasonable and proportionate legal costs and other expenses’ in Article 14 of the Enforcement Directive preclude the case-law which states that the costs of a technical adviser are recoverable only in the event of fault (contractual or extra-contractual)?
