  Management   Authorities  of  Germany  and  New   Zealand   have

  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
  replaces  or updates that given in Notifications to the  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.

  the Parties No. 718 of 21 December 1992.
