## About this plate

CORPS DIPLOMATIQUE. The eligibility list in art. 7 c) is unusually concrete and worth preserving as a fact about Luxembourg rather than about plates: beyond accredited diplomats and officials of international bodies with diplomatic or analogous status, it names by office the President, Vice-Presidents, political-group chairs and Secretary-General of the EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT; the judges, advocates-general and registrar of the COURT OF JUSTICE; the President, members and Secretary-General of the COURT OF AUDITORS; the members and registrar of the COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE; the President and Vice-Presidents of the EIB; the head and deputy head of the EFTA Bureau; and the President and members of the finance committee of the European Investment Fund. That is the European institutional geography of Luxembourg City, written into a plate regulation. THE DECODE TABLE IS A GAP: the instrument states the MECHANISM (first group = the body) and publishes no codes, and no Ministry of Foreign Affairs list was reached.

## How numbers are issued

group 1 identifies the mission or international organisation and is invariable for it; group 2 is a serial within that body

## About the format

The instrument composes this one to the character. Art. 7 c): the number is 1000-9999 preceded by CD, and "Le predit numero a quatre chiffres est divise par un tiret en deux groupes a deux chiffres, le premier groupe designant l'organisme diplomatique ou l'organisme international officiel en question, le deuxieme groupe formant un numero courant." The hyphen INSIDE the digits is statutory and is a group boundary; the gap after CD is not legislated, hence the class.
