National trademark & OHIM registration procedure

Question

If I have a trademark registered in Germany (or other EU jurisdiction), does this assist my OHIM trademark application in any way? For example, is the registration fee at OHIM reduced, or is the registration procedure sped up?

Thank you very much in advance!

The only effect a prior national TM registration can have on a CTM application is that you can use it to claim priority (during the 6 months period) or seniority. It will not help the process per se. regards.
