COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 4 December 1990 on the transitional measures and the adjustments required to the Directives on plant health, seeds, plants and animal feedingstuffs and to the veterinary and zootechnical legislation as a result of German unification (90/654/EEC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof, Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), as last amended by Directive 89/662/EEC(2), and in particular Article 4 b (1) (c) thereof, Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat(3), as last amended by Directive 89/662/EEC(4), and in particular Article 13a (2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(5), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(6), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(7), Whereas the Community has adopted a body of rules implementing the common agricultural policy; Whereas, from the date of German unification onwards, Community law will be fully applicable in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; Whereas to facilitate the integration of farming in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic into the common agricultural policy, the former German Democratic Republic has been applying, in an autonomous capacity, some of the common agricultural rules since 1 July 1990; Whereas, however, certain adjustments must be made to Community agricultural legislation in order to allow for the particular circumstances of the said territory; Whereas the derogations provided for in this connection should as a general rule be temporary and cause the least possible disturbance to the functioning of the common agricultural policy and the pursuit of the objectives of Article 39 of the Treaty; Whereas, given the current situation, certain Community provisions on quality and health cannot be applied immediately to the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas any disturbance to the proper functioning of the internal market resulting from the application of derogations to this end must be avoided; whereas therefore products which do not conform to Community rules should not be marketed in the Community except in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; Whereas information about farming in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic is insufficient to permit the extent of the adjustments and derogations to be definitively established; whereas, to allow for changes in the situation, it is necessary to lay down a simplified procedure in accordance with the third indent of Article 145 of the Treaty so that the measures provided for in this Directive may be adjusted and supplemented where necessary; Whereas the German authorities have undertaken to extend their eradication plan for classical swine fever to the territory of the former German Democratic Republic from the date of German unification; whereas they have given their assurance that the system for notifying diseases will be in operation for that territory on the same date; whereas, as a result, in the light of the animal health situation in that territory and the above undertakings, the territory should be accorded disease-free status with regard to classical swine fever from the date of German unification, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 To ensure the harmonious integration of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic into the common agricultural policy, this Directive lays down transitional arrangements and the adjustments required to the Directives on plant health, seeds, plants and animal feedingstuffs and to veterinary and zootechnical legislation.

Adjusting measures to fill obvious loopholes and to make technical adjustments to the measures provided for in this Directive may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 4. 2. Such adjusting measures must be designed to ensure coherent application of Community rules in the sector covered by this Directive in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, with due regard for the specific circumstances in that territory and the special difficulties involved in the application of those rules. They must be consistent with the principles of those rules, and be closely related to one of the derogations provided for by this Directive. 3. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 may be taken until 31 December 1992. Their applicability shall be limited to the same period; however, where this Directive sets later time limits for derogations, those time limits shall apply. 4. Where it proves essential to postpone a time limit laid down in this Directive for application of a derogation, the date in question may be postponed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 4, but not beyond 31 December 1992. Article 4 Where this Article is referred to, measures shall be adopted, in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Article providing for the adoption of detailed rules of application, in an instrument falling within the scope of this Directive. Article 5 1. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, as part of the procedures for checking product conformity, the Member States shall ensure that products not complying with Community rules are not placed on the market in parts of the Community other than the territory of the former German Democratic Republic. 2. The Federal Republic of Germany shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Annexes, take measures to guarantee that products not complying with Community rules are not placed on the market in parts of the Community other than the territory of the former German Democratic Republic. Such measures shall be compatible with the Treaty, and in particular with the objectives of Article 8a, and shall not give rise to any additional controls or formalities at frontiers between Member States. 3. Any Member State may refer any difficulties to the Commission. The Commission shall, as a matter of urgency, examine the question and submit its conclusions, possibly accompanied by appropriate measures. These measures shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 4. Article 6 The Federal Republic of Germany shall notify to the Commission, at the earliest opportunity, the measures taken pursuant to the authorizations provided for in this Directive.
