However, these Member States may allow other languages, if necessary, accompanied by an official translation. (d) If for reasons of identification of the items of the consignment (schedule in point 8 of the model of certificate), additional pages are attached to the certificate, these pages shall also be considered as forming part of the original of the certificate by the application of the signature and stamp of the certifying official, in each of the pages.
