Whereas the request for an extension of the exemption submitted by Germany on 14 July 1997 is justified by the fact that the measures needed to adapt the directives which were the subject of that exemption have not yet come into force and the exemption should therefore be extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to those directives and, in any case, for a maximum period of 24 months;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
