The effect of rapid uniform rotation on equivalent widths of spectral lines is studied in the case of a star seen pole-on. Contrary to the situation for the strong lines MgII 4481 and SiII 4128, the effect may be significant for the weak ones, especially those of the EuII-type. Because the mean atmospheric parameters of a rapidly rotating star seen pole-on are very similar to those of a non-rotating star of the same mass, this may cause significant errors in abundance determinations, especially for Eu-type elements. The aspect effect on the central intensity of two EuII lines of different strengths is also studied.
