1. The EEC-Cyprus Association Council of 24 November 1980 decided that, f
as from 1982, the Community and the Republic of Cyprus should negotiate the 
conditions and procedures for the Implementation of Article 2(3) of the :
Association Agreement. These negotiations have not yet taken pla'cei
r
2. D ue to the fact that the current trade arrangements with the Republic >
of Cyprus expire on 31 December 1?85and  1n order to avoid a  hiatus in the legal 
provisions governing the Community's preferential relations with the Republic
of Cyprus, these proposals are designed to extend the existing trade arrange­
ments with the Republic of Cyprus, on an autonomous basis, until the entry into force
of trade arrangements in a  contractual form. «
