1.     In implementation of Article 3 of the Council decision of 16 December
1969 ( 1 ) on the progressive standardisation 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 1982 and expire
or are due to be terminated between 1 August and 31 October 1982 .
       The prior consultation specified in , Article 2 of this Decision was
executed by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on 11 June
1982 that the conditions under which the agreements could be extended for
a further year had been fulfilled .
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 .
