  "text": "For regulation 9 substitute—\n“Amendment of the register on conversion and issue of certificate of conversion\n9 (1) The registrar must, within the period beginning with IP completion day and ending at the end of the day after the day on which IP completion day falls, amend the name of a grouping which is converted from an EEIG to a UKEIG under Article 1 of the EC Regulation to reflect that conversion on the register.\n(2) But the registrar is not required to amend the name of a grouping for the purposes of paragraph (1) in documents and particulars relating to that grouping and filed with the registrar before IP completion day.\n(3) The registrar must issue a certificate to the UKEIG (a “certificate of conversion”) to confirm that the UKEIG has converted, on IP completion day, pursuant to Article 1 of the EC Regulation.\n(4) The certificate of conversion must be—\n(a) signed by the registrar or authenticated by the registrar's official seal; and\n(b) issued to the UKEIG within the period of 21 days beginning with IP completion day.\n(5) Any communication or notice may be addressed to a UKEIG at its official address as notified to the registrar or in the case of any change of that address at any new official address notified to the registrar.\n(6) Where, before IP completion day, a transfer proposal in relation to a grouping has been drawn up, filed and published under Article 14, paragraphs (1) to (4) do not apply in relation to that grouping, until such time as the registrar is satisfied that the transfer did not take effect before IP completion day.\n(7) Paragraph (8) applies in relation to an EEIG—\n(a) which immediately before IP completion day is registered in a Member State pursuant to a transfer of its official address from the United Kingdom to that Member State in accordance with Article 14; but\n(b) whose registration in the United Kingdom has not been terminated before IP completion day.\n(8) The registrar must delete the registration of an EEIG to which this paragraph applies as soon as reasonably practicable.\n(9) In this regulation, “Article 14” means Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2137/85 of 25 July 1985 on the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) as it applied in the European Union immediately before IP completion day.”.",
