1. The model forms E 121 and E 127 reproduced in Decision No 153 of 7 October 1993 shall be replaced by the models appended hereto, and the model form E 122 reproduced in the same Decision shall be discontinued.

2. Separate forms E 121 and E 127 shall be filled in for each recipient of a pension or allowance, and for each member of the family of a recipient of a pension or allowance.

3. The competent authorities of the Member States shall make the appended forms available to the persons concerned (rightful claimants, institutions, employers, etc.). However, E 121 forms valid on the date this Decision enters into force shall remain validd until they are invalidated and/or replaced by the new model form E 121 convering only the recipient of a pension or allowance and thus not the members of their families.

4. Each form shall be available in the official languages of the Commuity and laid out in such manner that the different versions are perfectly superposable, thereby making it possible for all persons or bodies to whom a form is addressed (rightful claimants, institutions, employers, etc.) to receive the form printed in their own language.

5. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities and shall be applicable as from 1 January 1998. In France, however, it shall not take effect until 1 January 2002.
