Recital 28

(28) To ensure efficient and consistent decision-making as regards applications, the competent authority of a Member State should inform the Office without undue delay of any proceedings before a national court or another body concerning an application submitted by that competent authority to the Office, and of the final outcome of such proceedings. For the same reason, the competent authority should keep the Office informed of any national administrative and judicial proceedings against the decision of the competent authority that could affect the registration of a geographical indication.
