Germany:
Declaration contained in the instrument of ratification, completed by a letter from the Permanent Representative of Germany, deposited on 11 May 2005 - Or. Engl./Germ.
Germany declares that the procedure for the admission of late expatriates (Spataussiedler - persons of German ethnic origin who have their residence in countries of the former Eastern Bloc) and of their spouses or descendants is not aimed at acquiring German nationality and that it is not part of any procedures relating to nationality.
Rationale
Article 10 of the European Convention on Nationality stipulates that applications relating to the acquisition of a State's nationality be processed within a reasonable time. As a rule, the aim of persons going through the admission procedure is to obtain admission to Germany. Under the new provisions of Section 7 of the StAG, a German within the meaning of Article 116 (1) of the Basic Law who does not possess German nationality shall acquire German nationality ex lege upon the issue of the certificate [on his/her status as a late expatriate] as provided under Section 15 (1) or (2) of the Federal Act on Expellees' and Refugees' Affairs (Federal Expellees Act - BVFG). This provision also applies to descendants. On account of the fixing of quotas for persons to be admitted under the BVFG, the respective admission procedure may involve waiting periods of several years. Against this background, it must be stressed that the admission procedure is legally independent of the acquisition of German nationality.

Reservations contained in the instrument of ratification, completed by a letter from the Permanent Representative of Germany, deposited on 11 May 2005 - Or. Engl./Germ.
Article 7
Germany declares that loss of German nationality ex lege may, on the basis of the "option provision" under Section 29 of the Nationality Act [Staatsangehorigkeitsgesetz-StAG] (opting for either German or a foreign nationality upon coming of age), be effected in the case of a person having acquired German nationality by virtue of having been born within Germany (jus soli) in addition to a foreign nationality.
Rationale
A reservation is required on account of the provisions of the new sub-sections 2 and 3 of Section 29 of the Nationality Act (StAG), under which persons who had acquired German nationality under Section 4 (3) of the StAG and are required to state their respective option may lose their German nationality. This reservation is based on the fact that Article 7 of the European Convention on Nationality of 6 November 1997 provides that a State Party to the Convention may, in its internal law, provide for the loss of its nationality ex lege or at the initiative of the State Party only in the cases provided for in that Article. However, none of the cases definitively listed in Article 7 with regard to loss of nationality are in conformity with the provisions governing loss of nationality as laid down in Section 29 (2) and (3) of the StAG. The reservation required in this respect is compatible with the object and purpose of the Convention of 6 November 1997. The same applies to persons who under Section 40b of the StAG are eligible for privileged natural
