CMR fields 16 and 23

We received from issuing bank refusal of documents due to:
'cmr: carrier in field 16 is missing resp. in field 23 not indicated 'as carrier'.
Indeed the field 16 was empty, but in field 23, with preprinted notation: 'signature and stamp of the carrier', there was stamp and signature. Was the bank right to refuse?

Dear colleagues,
please share with your point of view in this matter, do you agree with the discrepancy?
Thank you in advance, Anna.

Anna,
My point of view is that the document is correct. I do not see why you should add "as carrier" if it is already preprinted. You can identify the entity which put its stamp (the name of the carrier) and signature as that of the carrier according to art. 24 a
I hope you will receive other opinions
Daniel
