After the decision of the German Constitutional Court invalidating the German ratification law of the UPC agreement, the German government has presented to the Parliament a new law for ratification.

This new law, which was accepted by the first chamber (Bundesrat) on September 18, has now been accepted on November 26 with a large majority by the second chamber (Bundestag). The law allows the German government to ratify the UPC Agreement as well as the Protocol on Provisional Application.
