COMMISSION DECISION  of 9 December 1991  establishing the conditions governing the notification of chemical substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the inventory  provided for in Article 13 of Directive 67/548/EEC  (Only the German text is authentic)  (92/3/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/660/EEC of 4 December 1990 on the transitional measures applicable in Germany with regard to certain Community provisions relating to the protection of the environment, in connection with the internal market (1),
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Directive 90/660/EEC provides that the Federal Republic of Germany shall take the measures necessary to ensure that substances and preparations which do not comply with Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the  approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2), as last amended by Directive 90/517/EEC (3), are not placed on the territory of the Community other  than the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas any substance which does not appear on the inventory provided for in Article 13 of Directive 67/548/EEC (European inventory of existing commercial chemical substances - Einecs (4))  must be notified in accordance with the provisions of that Directive; whereas the conditions governing the notification of substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the  inventory shall be laid down by the Commission;
Whereas any derogations from Community law provided for in connection with regard to the specific situation existing in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic must be temporary and cause the least possible disturbance to the functioning  of the common market and must also reflect the high standard of protection for man and the environment achieved in the Community;
Whereas it seems, therefore, to be appropriate to subject chemical substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the inventory to a simplified notification procedure with  certain minimum requirements, similar to Article 6 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC,
