"The FIA has invited them to lift those conditions following further discussions to be concluded not later than close of business on Friday 19 June," the FIA statement said.
The maximum number of cars permitted to enter the 2010 Championship has been increased to 26, two being entered by each competitor.
The FIA has been in dispute with the teams' umbrella group Fota over a proposed budget cap for next season and other plans for the future of the sport.
Ferrari and other teams unhappy with the proposed changes had threatened not to enter the 2010 world championships and talks aimed at breaking the deadlock have been underway for the last few weeks.
