It's a national stage of a PCT application - a 371 application, not a bypass continuation. So the PCT "unity of invention" rules apply. Again, not unusual.
Here's the unusual bit: The application went through Chapter II, and the ISA - in this instance the EPO -- examined ALL OF THE CLAIMS. Now, the US Examiner's been handed the Written Opinion, but it's apparently an "undue burden" for the Examiner to copy that into a single Official Action.
