EPOC and EPOC-PR Translation and Language Declarations Unofficial title


A European Production Order should be transmitted through an EPOC, and a European Preservation Order should be transmitted through an EPOC-PR. Where needed, the EPOC or the EPOC-PR should be translated into an official language of the Union accepted by the addressee. Where no language has been specified by the service provider, the EPOC or the EPOC-PR should be translated into an official language of the Member State where the designated establishment or the legal representative of the service provider is located, or into another official language that the designated establishment or the legal representative of the service provider declared it will accept. Where a notification to the enforcing authority is required pursuant to this Regulation, the EPOC to be transmitted to that authority should be translated into an official language of the enforcing State or into another official language of the Union accepted by that State. In that regard, each Member State should be encouraged to state, at any time, in a written declaration submitted to the Commission if, and in which official language or languages of the Union in addition to the official language or languages of that Member State, they would accept translations of EPOCs and EPOC-PRs. The Commission should make such declarations available to all Member States and to the European Judicial Network.
