                            COUNCIL DECISION
    authorizing the automatic renewal or continuance in force of
   provisions governing matters covered by the common commercial
     policy contained in the friendship/ trade and navigation
      treaties and similar agreements concluded between Member
                       States and third countries
                    ( submitted by the Commission )
 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.    Under      Article   3   of   the  Council    Decision    of   16   December
       1969^ 1 ) on the progressive standardization of agreements
       concerning commercial          relations between Member States and
       third       countries      and     on    negotiation      of     Community
      agreements , the Commission hereby proposes to the Council
       that     the  Member    States    should    be  authorized     to   extend ,
      expressly        or     tacitly ,      provisions governing matters covered by
       the : common commercial policy contained in the friendship , trade and navi -
       nation treaties and similar agreements annexed to the attached proposal
       for a Council decision in so far as their provisions are not contrary to
       existing common policies .
      The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this
      Decision was executed by written procedure . The outcome
      was the recognition on 17.12.1987 that the conditions
      under which       this extension   can   be authorized       for a further
      year had been fulfilled .
                                  «
2.    Denmark's agreement of 3.8.1923 with Finland was amended
      with effect from 1.1 . 1988                      as part of the general
      review of agreements between Member States and EFTA
      countries , and has therefore been taken off the list .
      The Commission would point out that this time                  it proposes
      the     extension    of  treaties    between Member      States    and  EFTA
      countries on an exceptional basis . In accordance with the
      understanding reached between the Commission services and
      national departments concerned , the denunciation or review
      procedures for such treaties should already have been
      completed . Hence       forward    the    Commission     will    no   longer
      propose that these treaties be extended .
3.    The Commission would further point out that since some
      treaties with EFTA countries do not concerne commerce , no
      authorisation for their extension will be required , there¬
      fore the following treaties have been taken off the list :
      France - Finlande of 24.4.1931
      France - Norvège of 30.12.1881
      United Kingdom - Norvège of 18.3.1826 and of 16.5.1913
      United Kingdom - Suède of 11.4.1654 , 17.7.1656 , 21.10.1661 ,
