2.3.7 Prohibited matter 

As prohibited statements or matter may not necessarily be omitted under Art. 21(6) PCT, the application must be examined to ensure that the instructions in A‑III, 8 ("Prohibited matter") are complied with. Where the EPO is informed by the International Bureau that statements or matter were omitted from the published PCT application, the Receiving Section has to ensure that the corresponding material is excluded from the translation as furnished by the applicant (see E‑IX, 2.1.3).
