✦ Synopsis

In this paper we deal with the following particular case of a weaker conjecture by B.Y. Chen: Are there 2-type Willmore surfaces in E 3 ? In particular we prove that the above question has a negative answer when the surface is the image under stereographic projection of a minimal surface in S 3 .
