1The amendments were adopted and are binding upon all Contracting Parties applying Regulation No. 83 as from 12 September 2001, except for Yugoslavia. Pursuant to article 12 (3) of the Agreement, the amendments will enter into force for Yugoslavia two months after the period of six months following the date of the notification by the Secretary-General of the proposed amendment, i.e. 12 November 2001.2For additional references to the texts of the annexed regulations and their amendments, see doc. TRANS/WP.29/343 as updated annually.3For technical reasons and in order to align this chapter with all others in the publication, the date indicated is no longer the date of effect of the regulation for the Contracting Party, but the date of receipt of the notification of application by the Secretary-General.4The former Yugoslavia applied Regulation No. 83 as from 21 May 1991. See also note 1 under “Bosnia and Herzegovina”, “Croatia”, “former Yugoslavia”, “Slovenia”, “The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” and “Yugoslavia” in the “Historical Information” section in the front matter of this volume.5Czechoslovakia applied Regulation No. 83 as from 10 August 1990.

Thus, the 14 Member States already Contracting Parties themselves, now apply all [these] regulations by virtue of the EC's accession."... By the EC accession, Ireland has not become a Contracting Party. Only the EC has become a Contracting Party. Ireland being a Member State of this Contracting Party applies the [...] regulations [adhered to by the EC] by virtue of the EC's accession.It will be recalled that, as at 29 July 1999, States Members of the EC are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.7Contracting State having proposed the Regulation and date of entry into force of the Regulation for that State in accordance with article 1 (3).8The German Democratic Republic applied Regulation No. 83 (Parts B and C only) as from 16 October 1990. With regard to the above, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany in a communication received on 14 January 1991, informed the Secretary-General of the following: - [Regulation No. 83 which had] been applied by both the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic shall continue to apply... The notification further states that it “. . . does not constitute a general statement of position by the Federal Republic of Germany on the question of state succession in relation to treaties.” Moreover, it should be noted that Regulation No. 83 [was] proposed by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany...
