Après le remboursement des prêts le 22 septembre 2003 et la restitution des actes de garantie aux garants, l'Allemagne a déclaré que la demande d'autorisation de la prorogation jusqu'à 2007 des garanties couvrant les prêts était devenue sans objet.
As the loans were repaid on 22 September 2003, with the guarantee bonds subsequently being returned to the guarantors, Germany considers that the question of the application to extend the loan guarantees until 2007, which had in any event been submitted only as a precautionary measure, is now closed.
