67Nor can the rule that amendments made to those rules must be notified individually with acknowledgement of receipt be inferred from a requirement of equivalence of form, which would mean that the form used to bring a measure to the notice of its addressees would also have to be used for all subsequent amendments to that measure. In this case, it is sufficient to note that the method of communication adopted by Article 27(1) of the Rules Governing the Payment of Expenses and Allowances is attributable, as is moreover apparent from the very wording of that provision, to the Parliament's intention to make sure that, at the time of taking office, new parliamentarians do actually become acquainted with the financial rules currently in force which are applicable to Members of the Parliament. However, once the latter have taken office, that institution's traditional methods of internal communication may be considered sufficient to ensure that those members are actually informed of amendments which it makes to those rules.
