 ---pagebreak---                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . In implementation of 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 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 third batch for 1979 and expire or
are due to be terminated between . 1 August and 31 October 1979 .
The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision was executed
by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on 16 May. 1979 that
the conditions under which the agreements could be extended for a further
year had been fulfilled . However , in the case of the Benelux / Greece agreement
the period of extension may not exceed 31.12.1980 because of the entry into
force on 1.1.1981 of the Treaty on the accession of Greece to the Commission .
2 . The Commission considers it appropriate to point out , moreover , that the
proposals for authorizing the Member States to renew or extend , expressly or
tacitly , certain agreements in this batch for a further one-year period are
by no means indicative of any position it might adopt next time these agreements
come up for renewal .

        authorizing; extension or tacit renewal of ~erta,in Trade
     Agreements concluded bet^e^n Mensber States and third countries
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN CCICrJNlTlES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Conaunity,
and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Council Decision 69/494/EEC of 16 December 1969
on the progressive standardization of agreements concerning commercial
relations between Kerabe^tatea and third countries and cn 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 has already been authorized in the case of the Agreements and
Protocols listed in the Annex by Council Decision 78/667/CEE.
                                                                  • #/• •

 ---pagebreak---   Whereas the Member States concerned have requested authorization to extend or
  renew these Agreements with a view to avoiding interruption in their commercial
relations with the third countries concerned based on agreement ;
 Whereas authorization has to be granted only for the maintenance of trade
  relations between the Member States and the third countries concerned , based on
                             >                                            *
 agreements , pending their replacement by Conn; unity Agreements to be negotiated ;
 whereas such authorization would not , therefore in any way modify the obligation
 of the Member States to avoid and , where appropriate , eliminate any incompatibility
 between such agreements and the provisions of Corrjsunity law ;
 Whereas furthermore , the provisions of the instruments to be either extended or
 renewed should not , during the period under consideration , constitute an
 obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy ;
 Whereas the Member States concerned have declared that the extension or tacit
 renewal of thes® Agreements would prevent neither the opening of Community
 negotiations with the third oountries concerned r. or the transfer of the
 commercial fabric thereof to Community Agreements , nor would it , during the
 period envisaged , hinder the adoption of the measures necessary to complete the
 standardization of the import systems of the Member States ;
 Whereas , at the conclusion of the consultations provides for in Article 2 of
 the         Decision 69/494/ EEC ,          it was established , as the aforesaid
 declarations by the Member States confirm , that the provisions qf the Agreements
 to be extended or renewed would not , during the period envisaged , constitute an
 obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy ;                «
 Whereas , in these circumstances , the Agreements may be either extended or
 tacitly renewed for a limited period ,
