However ,since therelevant agreements will last only a
matter ofdnys "beyond the end of1974 *theCommission hasconcluded that
itwould notbeappropriate tomake immediate provision fortheir renuncia­
tion .This exception is,ofcourse ,without prejudice totheview tobe
taken bytheCommission onother agreements which expire before the endof
1974 .
3. TheCommission notes ,ontheother hand ,that several
agreements involve countries which have already concluded trade orassocia­
tions agreements with the Community .
Insofar astheprovisions ofnational agreements areeither
identical toorincompatible with thecorresponding provisions ofthe
Community agreements ,theCommunity anditsMember States ,aswell as
third countries ,canonly claim such rights andobligations which are
covered bytheprovisions oftheCommunity agreements which have thus
replaced those covered bythenational agreements .

Whereas tacit extension "beyond the endofthetransitional period has
already "been authorized inthecase oftheAgreements listed inthe

Whereas theMember States concerned have requested that ,with aview to
avoiding interruption intheir commercial relations x-ri.th thethird countries
concerned based onagreement thus be -authorized toextend theabove-mentioned
Agreements ;-
Whereas inthis respect the aim isonly toauthorize thecontinuation of
conventional commercial relations between the Member States concerned and
such third countries ,pending their replacement byCommunity Agreements
tobenegotiated ,andthat such anauthorization should not ,therefore ,
affect theobligation incumbent upon theMember States toavoid ,and , .
eventually ,eliminate every incompatibility betwean such agreements and
theprovisions ofCommunity law ;
Whereas furthermore ,theprovisions oftheinstruments tobeeither extended
orrenewed ,should not ,during theperiod ofextension envisaged ,constitu­
teanobstacle totheimplementation ofthecommon commercial policy 5
