1.Pursuant to Resolution Conf. 2.14 adopted by the Conference  of
  the  Parties  at  its  second meeting  (San  José,  1979),  the
  Management  Authorities of Germany, Honduras, New  Zealand  and
  the  United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland  have
  communicated to the Secretariat further information  about  the
  scientific  institutions which they have registered  and  which
  are   entitled  to  the  exemption  for  non-commercial   loan,
  donation   or  exchange  of  museum  and  herbarium   specimens
  provided  by  Article VII, paragraph 6, of the Convention.  The
  attached  information updates that given  in  Notifications  to

2.In  accordance  with  the provisions  of  paragraph  b  ii)  of
  Resolution  Conf. 2.l4, the Management Authorities  of  Parties
  which  have not yet done so are invited to communicate  to  the
  Secretariat  as soon as practicable the names and addresses  of
  the  institutions registered and thus authorized to  apply  the
  simplified procedure provided by Article VII, paragraph  6,  of
  the  Convention, or to inform the Secretariat, as the case  may
  be,  that  no scientific institution of their country  will  be
  registered for that purpose.

3.When  communicating  their  lists, Management  Authorities  are
  invited  to  assign  to each institution a three  digit  number
  chosen at their convenience. The two additional letters of  the
  code  will  be attributed by the Secretariat under  the  system
  adopted by the Conference of the Parties [see Resolution  Conf.
  2.14, paragraph x)].

4.The   Secretariat   would   also  appreciate   receiving,   for
  communication to the other Parties, samples of the labels  used
  by all the Management Authorities concerned.
