COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1794/90
of 28 June 1990
on transitional measures concerning trade with the German Democratic Republic
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic have concluded a Treaty (Staatsvertrag) for the immediate establishment of a monetary union and for the progressive integration of the German Democratic Republic into the economic and social system of the Federal Republic of Germany and into the legal system of the Community in advance of the formal unification of the two Germanies;
Whereas the Staatsvertrag states that the German Democratic Republic shall align its policies on the laws and objectives of the European Communities;
Whereas, during the period preceding unification, rules governing trade between the German Democratic Republic, on the one hand, and the Federal Republic of Germany and other Member States of the Community, on the other, should be geared towards the free access of Community products to the German Democratic Republic and towards equivalent access to the Community for the latter's products; whereas such free access for products from the German Democratic Republic may, however, be granted only if the latter provides suitable protection at its frontier with third countries;
Whereas it appears appropriate, in order to enable the Community's external arrangements to be adapted rapidly to developments in the German Democratic Republic, to confer upon the Commission the relevant implementing powers in accordance with the management committee procedure;
Whereas, as regards trade between the German Democratic Republic, on the one hand, and Spain and Portugal, on the other, this Regulation shall apply with due regard to the relevant Articles of the Act of Accession,
