1. In implementation of A rticle 3 of the Council Decision of 16 December 
1969 (1) on the progressive standardization of agreements concerning 
commercial relations between M em ber States and third  countries and on 
negotiation of Community agreements, the Commission proposes to the 
Council that the M em ber States should be authorized to extend, expressly 
or ta c itly , the trade agreements annexed to the attached proposal for a  
Council decision. The agreements in question constitute the third batch 
for 1983 and expire or are due to be terminated between 1  August and 3 1  
October 1983.
The prior consultation specified in A rticle 2  of this Decision w as 
executed by written procedure. The outcome w as the recognition on 15 June 
1983 that the conditions under which the agreements could be extended 
for a  further year had been fu lfille d .
2. The Commission considers it  appropriate to point out, moreover, that 
the proposals for authorizing the M em ber States to renew or extend, 
expressly or ta c itly , certain agreements in this batch for a  further 
one-year period are by no m eans indicative of any position it  might adopt 
next time these agreements com e up for renewal.

C O U N C IL DECISION
authorizing extension or ta c it renewal of certain trade agreements 
concluded between the Member States and th ird  countries
T H E  C O U N C IL O F  T H E  E U R O P E A N  CO M M UNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in 
particular A rticle 113 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 69/494/EEC of 16 December 1969 on the progressive 
standardization of agreements concerning commercial relations between M em ber States 
and third countries and on the negotiation of Community agreements (1), and in 
particular A rticle 3 thereof,
having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas extension or ta c it renewal beyond the end of the transitional period w as 
last authorized in the case of the Agreements and Protocols listed in the Annex 
by Council Decision 82/591/EEC (2);
Whereas the M em ber States concerned have with a  view to avoiding disruption of 
their 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 authori­
zation should not, therefore, adversely affect the obligation incumbent upon the 
M em ber States to avoid and, where appropriate, to eliminate any incom patibility 
between such agreements and the provisions of Community law;
Whereas the provisions of the instruments to be either extended or ta c itly  
renewed should not, furthermore, during the period under consideration, constitute 
an obstacle to the implementation of the com m on commercial policy;
Whereas the Member States concerned have declared that the extension or ta c it 
renewal of these agreements would neither constitute an obstacle to the opening 
of Community negotiations with the th ird  countries concerned and the transfer of 
the commercial substance thereof to Community agreements nor, during the period 
under consideration, hinder the adoption of the measures necessary to complete 
the standardization of the import arrangements applied by the Member States;
Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in A rticle 2  of 
Decision 69/494/EEC it  w as established, as the aforesaid declarations by the 
M em ber States concerned confirm, that the provisions of the agreements to be 
extended or ta c itly  renewed would not, during the period under consideration, 
constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the com m on commercial policy;

Whereas, in these circumstances, the agreements concerned m ay be either 
extended or ta c itly  renewed for a  limited period,
H A S  A D O P T E D  THIS DECISION :
A rticle  1
The Trade Agreements and Protocols between M em ber States and third  countries 
listed in the Annex hereto m ay be extended or ta c itly  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 the ir pro­
visions are not contrary to existing com m on policies.
A rticle 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
