Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,

If the European Union is designated, it is compulsory to indicate a second language before the Office of the European Union. The second language must be
chosen from among the following five languages, but may not be the language of the international application from which the international registration
indicated in item 1 resulted, regardless of the language of the present subsequent designation. Thus, for example, if the international application was filed in
French and this subsequent designation is in English, French may not be selected as the second language (check one box only):
English

Moreover, if the holder wishes to claim the seniority of an earlier mark registered in, or for, a Member State of the European Union, the official form MM17
must be annexed to the present subsequent designation.

designation. The second part will have to be paid only if the Office of the Contracting Party concerned is satisfied that the mark which is the subject of the
international registration qualifies for protection. The date by which the second part must be paid, and the amount due, will be notified to the holder of the
international registration at a later stage.
