ORDER

For these reasons, it is decided that:

1. Insofar as the decision of the Receiving Section dated 27 August 1982 decided that the set of claims labelled "for Luxembourg and Sweden" should be deemed not to have been received, it is set aside.

2. Insofar as the said decision decided that the restriction as to the set of claims labelled "for Belgium, Switzerland/Liechtenstein, Federal Republic of Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, The Netherlands and France" should be deleted, it is set aside.

3. The case is remitted to the Receiving Section for publication of the application with, in addition to the set of claims for Austria, the set of claims originally labelled "for Luxembourg and Sweden", now to be labelled for all designated States except Austria.
