Former registers in the accession territory

Registers in which agricultural production cooperatives, craft production cooperatives, or other cooperatives or cooperative facilities with their seat in the territory named in Article 3 of the Unification Treaty were entered on 3 October 1990, are deemed registers of cooperatives within the meaning of this Act and of the Act on the Procedure in Family Matters and in Matters of Non-Contentious Jurisdiction. The effectiveness of registrations in these registers is not affected by the fact that these registrations were made by the administrative authority before the entry into force, on 25 December 1993, of the Register Procedure Acceleration Act of 20 December 1993 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 2182).
