4 The phrase “relevant and material” is intended by both the United States and Italy to preclude use of this Article with respect to relatively unimportant, yet necessary, witnesses. For example, it is not intended for a requested country to seek a court order to compel the appearance of a custodian of records in the requesting country unless the manner in which the records were kept or other factors relating to their trustworthiness is a critical issue at trial. Therefore, this Article should not be interpreted as making such witnesses available for trial within the meaning of Rule 15(e), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Moreover, an important fact witness whose appearance cannot be obtained, either because Italy refuses to compel his appearance, or because the witness contumaciously refuses to travel to the United States pursuant to an Italian court order, should be regarded as unavailable for purposes of Ruie 15(e).
