Dear Francis,
When using plane waves there is no need for the counterpoise correction
as there is no basis set superposition error (in a given cell the basis
set does not depend on how many or which kind of atoms are in the cell).
Please check the literature on plane wave basis sets for further
explanation.
Greetings from Zurich,
