Whereas the Portuguese Republic, with a view to avoiding any disruption of its commercial relations with the third countries concerned based on Agreement, requested authorization to extend or renew the abovementioned Agreements;
Whereas, however, most of the areas covered by these national Agreements are henceforth the subject of Community Agreements; whereas, in this situation, there should be authorization for the maintenance of national Agreements only for those areas not covered by Community Agreements; whereas, in addition, such authorization should not, therefore, adversely affect the obligation incumbent upon the Member State concerned to avoid and, where appropriate, to eliminate any incompatibility between such Agreements and the provisions of Community law;

Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2 of Decision 69/494/EEC it was established, as the aforesaid declarations by the Portuguese Republic confirm, that the provisions of the Agreements to be extended or renewed would not, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas, in these circumstances, the Agreements concerned may be either extended or tacitly renewed for a limited period,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Trade Agreements and Protocols between the Portuguese Republic and third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, may be extended or tacitly renewed up to the dates indicated for each of them for those areas not covered by Agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned and in so far as their provisions are not contrary to existing common policies.
