Whereas in the exchange of letters of 7 February 19/ 0 on the occasion
of the meeting of the Joint Commission , set up by the trade agreement
between France and Japan of l*f May 19^3 , the French and Japanese v
governments each indicated their willingness to take the measures
necessary to ensure the effective operation of their Inter-Industry
Agreement concerning certain electronic goods , concluded between the
French and Japanese industries on k January 1969 >
Whereas the French Government has requested authorisation to extend
the validity of the inter-governmental agreement contained in the
exchange of letters as far as the Inter- Industry Agreement is
concerned , the latter having meanwhile been extended by the parties
to cover the period from 1 April 1973 until 31 March 197^ »
Whereas all that is required is authorisation for the extension of
the Agreement between the French and Japanese Governments and that
this authorisation shall in no way affect the obligation of the
member State concerned to avoid and , if necessary , to remove any
incompatibility between this Agreement and the provisions of
Community law ;
Whereas , moreover , as a result of the prior consultation provided
for in Article 2 of the Decision of 16 December 19^9 , it was
established , as confirmed by the statement of the Member State
concerned , that the exchange of letters will not constitute any
obstacle to the common commercial policy in the sector concerned
during the period of extension under consideration }
Whereas , consequently , the abovementioned exchange of letters may
be extended until 31 March 197 ^ at the latest ;
                                                                ./
