Recital 31
(31) The Commission should, in certain specific cases, be able to take over from the Office the power to decide on individual applications, on requests for amendment of the product specification or on requests for cancellation. Any Member State or the Office should be able to request that the Commission exercise that prerogative. The Commission should also be able to act on its own initiative. The Office should, in any event, remain responsible for the examination of the file and the opposition, and, based on technical considerations, should prepare a draft implementing act for the Commission.
