(2) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, if a party so requests or if the arbitral tribunal considers it  necessary, the expert shall, after delivery of his written or oral report, participate in an oral hearing where  the parties have the opportunity to put questions to him and to present expert witnesses in order to testify  on the points at issue.
