4 The requested Party may make the execution of such a request dependant on the same conditions as it applies in respect of requests for search and seizure.

Member States may make the execution of a request according to this Article dependent on the same conditions as they apply in respect of requests for search and seizure.

In the case of public non-commercial use, where the government or contractor, without making a patent search, knows or has demonstrable grounds to know that a valid patent is or will be used by or for the government, the right holder shall be informed promptly;

(5) The abstract shall be so drafted that it constitutes an efficient instrument for purposes of searching in the particular technical field particularly by making it possible to assess whether there is a need for consulting the European patent application itself.

(2) Where the International Searching Authority makes a declaration, under Article 17(2)(a), that no international search report will be established, the time limit for performing the acts referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article shall be the same as that provided for in paragraph (1).

Any Contracting Party may, by a declaration addressed to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, when signing this Convention or depositing its instrument of ratification or accession, reserve the right to make the execution of letters rogatory for search or seizure of property dependent on one or more of the following conditions:

Letters rogatory for purposes of search and seizure for laundering offences within the scope of this Agreement shall also be admissible provided that the activities making up the precursor offence are punishable under the law of the two Contracting Parties by a penalty involving deprivation of liberty or a detention order of a maximum period of more than six months.

The Contracting Parties herewith agree and authorise the competent rescue co-ordination centres to make direct arrangements with a view to secure the co-ordination of those search and rescue operations which are carried out in the respective territorial waters, if this is needed by circumstances, in order to provide successful assistance to persons in distress.

in the search for solutions of how to put to use fats, which are a by-product in the processing of waste parts of potentially 'mad' cows into bone meal, there was a downright serious proposal that it should be used to make soap for less developed countries.

Of course, what is implied here is not that tabloids are exempt from the requirements of professional standards, but that they must be able to differentiate between cases in which it is allowable to stretch these standards, because a public personality is involved, and cases in which it is unacceptable. Since royal family members do not divorce every day, and since the most popular singers do not publicly take drugs or beat their partners often enough to fill the pages of the newspapers that live off such events, these newspapers turn to the masses in search of newsworthy stories. As a result, individuals making up the masses attract public attention through personal tragedies, when they come in conflict with the law, or reap an unexpected profit.

If the Ombudsman considers that a friendly solution is not possible, or that the search for a friendly solution has been unsuccessful, he either closes the case with a reasoned decision that may include a critical remark or makes a report with draft recommendations.
