(17) Union multilingual standard forms should be issued upon request to citizens and companies or other undertakings entitled to receive the equivalent public documents existing in the issuing Member State and under the same conditions. The standard forms should have the same formal evidentiary value as the equivalent public documents drawn up by the authorities of the issuing Member State, leaving the choice to Union citizens and companies or other undertakings in each individual case to use them or the equivalent national documents. Union multilingual standard forms should not produce legal effects as regards the recognition of their content in the Member States where they are presented. The Commission should develop detailed guidance on their use, by associating central authorities for that purpose.
