THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community , , and in particular Article 113 thereof ;
Having regard to the Council Decision of 16 December 1969 ( l ) on the
progressive standardization of agreements concerning commercial
relations between Member States and their countries and on the negotiation
of Community agreements , and in particular Article 3 thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission , ,■■■■

 ---pagebreak---   Whereas tacit extension beyond the end of the transitional period has al­
  ready been authorized in- the case of the Agreements listed in the Annex
  hereto by the Council       under its Decisions of 28 January 1969 ( 2 ), 12 May
  1969 ( 3 ), 8 June I969     (4), 29 June 1969 ( 5 ), 30 June I969 ( 6), 15 September

  Whereas the Member States concerned have requested that , with a view
  to avoiding interruption in their commercial relations with the third '
  countries concerned based on agreement thus be authorized to extend the
  above-mentioned Agreements ;
  Whereas in this respect the aim is only to authorize the continuation of
  conventional commercial relations between the Member States concerned and
  such third countries , pending their replacement by Community Agreements
  to be negotiated , and that such an authorization should not , therefore ,
  affect the obligation incumbent upon the Member States to avoid, and,'
  eventually , eliminate every incompatibility between such agreements and
  the provisions of Community law :

Whereas furthermore , the provisions of the instruments to be either
extended or renewed , should not , during the period of extension
envisaged , constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common
commercial policy ;
Whereas , in this respect , the Member States concerned have declared that
the renewal of these instruments would not be of such a nature as to
prelude the opening of trade negotiations with the third countries
concerned , and the transfer of the covering of commercial matters from
the provisions of such agreements to those of Community Agreements ,
nor to hinder the adoption of the necessary measures to complete the
standardization of the import systems of the Member States during the
envisaged extension period ;
Whereas , at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2
of the Council Decision of 16 December 19^9 »     was established , as the
aforesaid declarations by the Member States confirm , that the provision
of the instruments to be extended would not , during the period of
extension envisaged , constitute an obstacle to implementation of the
common commercial policy ;
Whereas , in these circumstances , the Agreements may be either extended
or tacitly renewed for a period which should not exceed a year .
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION :
                                  Article 1
The trade agreements between Member States and third countries listed in
the Annea hereto may be extended up to the dates specified in each case in
