TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY, PROTOCOL ON GERMAN INTERNAL TRADE AND CONNECTED PROBLEMS


++++

THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES ,

CONSIDERING the conditions at present existing by reason of the division of Germany ,

HAVE AGREED upon the following provisions , which shall be annexed to this Treaty :

1 . Since trade between the German territories subject to the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany and the German territories in which the Basic Law does not apply is a part of German internal trade , the application of this Treaty in Germany requires no change in the treatment currently accorded this trade .

2 . Each Member State shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of any agreements relating to trade with the German territories in which the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany does not apply , and of any implementing provisions . Each Member State shall ensure that the implementation of such agreements does not conflict with the principles of the common market and shall in particular take appropriate measures to avoid harming the economies of the other Member States .

3 . Each Member State may take appropriate measures to prevent any difficulties arising for it from trade between another Member State and the German territories in which the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany does not apply .
