COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0MC89) 596 final 
Brussels, 29 November 1989 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
authorizing extension or tacit renewal of certain trade agreements 
concluded between Member States and third countries 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MBCRMTOM 
Pursuant to Article 3 of the Council Decision of 16 December 1969 on the 
progressive standardization of agreements concerning commercial relations 
between Member States «"* third countries and on negotiation of Community 
agreements,1 the Commission is proposing to the Council that the Member 
States be authorized to extend or tacitly renew the trade agreements 
fl-n-nffvpri to the attached proposal for a Council decision, j 
The agreements in question constitute the 4th batch for 1969 and expire 
or are due to be terminated between 1 .11. 1989 and 31 J .1vvG. 
The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of the Decision was executed 
by written procedure. The outcome was the recognition on 2.1U. 1989 
that the conditions under which the agreements could be extended for a 
further year had been fulfilled. 
The Commission finds that the extension of the agreements has no 
implications for SMEs or for employment. 
The list still includes certain agreements with EFTA countries which, in 
accordance with the understanding"reached within the Working Party on EFTA, 
rcfr>nmiH be revised by the Member States concerned: 
The Member State concerned has informed the Camndjsslon that the review of 
theseagreementjSwill soon be completed, but that there is not enough time 
remaining before expiry to finalize the updating. The Commission therefore 
considers that a further extension of these agreementris required. 
The Commission would also point out that the proposals authorizing the 
Member States to renew or extend certain agreements in this, batch for a 
further year in no way prejudice its position the next time these 
agreements come up for renewal.

COUNCIL DECISION 
of . 
authorizing extension or tacit renewal of certain trade agreements concluded 
between Member States and third countries 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 
thereof. 
Having regard to Council Decision 69/494/EEC of 16 
December 1969 on the progressive standardization of 
agreements concerning commercial relations between 
Member States and third countries and on the negotiation 
of Community agreements ('), and in particular Article 3 
thereof. , 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas extension or tacit renewal beyond the end of the 
transitional period was last authorized in the case of the 
Agreements and Protocols listed in the Annex by 
Decision 39/54 /ECC (2) . 
Whereas the Member States concerned have, with a view 
to avoiding any disruption of their commercial relations 
with third countries concerned based on Agreement, 
requested authorization to extend or renew the above-
mentioned 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 Commu­
nity Agreements ; whereas, in addition, such authorization 
should not, therefore, adversely affect the obligation 
incumbent upon the Member Sûtes to avoid and, where 
appropriate, to eliminate any incompatibility between 
such Agreements and the provisions of Community law ; 
Whereas the provisions of the Agreements to be either 
prolonged or renewed should not furthermore, during the 
period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the 
implementation of the common commercial policy; 
Whereas the Member Sûtes concerned have declared that 
;he extension or ucit renewal of these Agreements would 
neither constitute an obsucle to the opening of Commu­
nity negotiations with the third countries concerned and f 
the transfer of the commercial substance of those Agree­
ments to Community Agreements nor, during the period 
under consideration, hinder the adoption of the measures 
necessary to complete the standardization of the import 
arrangements of the Member States ; 
Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided 
for in Article 2 of Decision 69/494/EEC it was esub-
lished, as the aforesaid declarations by the Member States 
concerned confirm, that the provisions of the Agreements 
to be extended or renewed would not, during the period 
under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the imple­
mentation of the common commercial policy ; 
Whereas, in these circumstances, the Agreements 
concerned may be cither extended or tacitly renewed for a 
limited period, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION 
Article 1 
The Trade Agreements and Protocols between Member 
States and third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, 
may be extended or tacitly renewed up to the dates indi­
cated for each of them for those areas not covered by 
Agreements between the Community and the third coun­
tries concerned and in so far as their provisions are not 
contrary to existing common policies.
