                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.   Under Article 3 of the Council Decision of 16 December 1969 ( 1 ) on the
     progressive standardization of agreements concerning commercial rela¬
     tions 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, the trade agreements annexed to the attached proposal for a
     Council decision . The agreements in question constitute the 4th batch
     for 1987 and expire or are due to be terminated between 1.11.1987 and
     1.1.1988 .
     The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision was
     executed by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on
     27.11.1987 that the conditions under which the agreements could be ex ¬
     tended for a further year had been fulfilled .
 2 . Denmark 's agreement of 4 June 1948 with Iceland was denounced on 22
     October this year as part of the general review of agreements between
     Member States and EFTA countries , and has therefore been taken off the
     list .
 3 . The Commission would point out that the proposals for authorizing the
     Member States to renew or extend, expressly or tacitly , certain agree¬
     ments in this batch for a further one-year period in no way prejudice
     any position it might adopt next time these agreements come up for
     renewal .
     II would further point out that it proposes the extension of agreements
     between Member States and EFTA countries only in exceptional cases .
     In accordance with the understanding reached between the Commission ser¬
     vices and national departments concerned, the denunciation or review
     procedures for such agreements should already have been completed . The
     Commission will therefore propose that these agreements be extended only
     if progress is made in reviewing them .
