 1.             In implementation of Article 3 of the Council Decision of
 16 December 1969 ( l ) on the progressive standardization of agreements
 concerning commercial relations between Member States and third countries
 and on the 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 first
 batch for 1976 and expire or are due to be terminated between 1 February
 and 30 April 1976 *
                The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision
was excecuted by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on
 15 November 1975 » that the United Kingdom will denounce her agreement, of
 18.3.1970 with Zaire and that the conditions under which the other agree­
ments could be extended for a further year had been fulfilled.
 2.             The Commission considers it appropirate 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 .      • '

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the Member States concerned have again , with a view to avoiding
interruption in their trade relations with the third countries concerned,
based on agreements , requested authorization to prolong or tacitly renew
the abovementioned agreements ;
Whereas authorization should be granted to maintain trade relations between
the Member States and the third countries concerned, on the basis of agree­
ments , pending their replacement by a Community conventional or autonomous
systemf whereas such authorization should not , therefore , adversely affect
the obligation of the Member States to avoid and, where appropriate , to
eliminate any incompatibility between such agreements and the provisions of
Community lawj
Whereas the provisions of the instruments to be either prolonged or tacitly
renewed would not , furthermore , during the period under consideration,
constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the Member States concerned have stated that the prolongation or
tacit renewal of these agreements would not be likely to constitute an ob­
stacle to either the opening of Community negotiations with the third
countries concerned or the transfer of the commercial fabric thereof to
Community Agreements , nor would it , during the period under consideration,
hinder the adoption of the necessary measures to complete the standardization
of the import systems of the Member States j
Whereas , at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2
of the Decision of 16 December 19^9 » i"t was established, as the aforesaid
declarations by the Member States confirm, that the provisions of the state­
ments by the Member States confirm, that they do not , therefore , during the
period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of
the common commercial policy ;
Whereas , in these circumstances , the agreements may be either prolonged or
tacitly renewed for a period not exceeding a year ,
