      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Is service of the standard form pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1393/2007 (1) necessary in every case or can there be exceptions?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               If it is considered that service is necessary in every case, does the omission in the present case constitute a reason why service is invalid?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               If not, can it be effected, in keeping with the spirit of Regulation (ΕC) No 1393/2007, by service on the lawyer acting for the respondents appearing under protest, who is under an obligation vis-à-vis his clients to accept service, or must service be effected anew under the procedure provided for in Regulation (ΕC) No 1393/2007?
            
         
      (1)  Regulation (EC) No 1393/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 November 2007 on the service in the Member States of judicial and extrajudicial documents in civil or commercial matters (service of documents), and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1348/2000 (OJ 2007 L 324, p. 79).
