     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 1n question constitute the 1st batch
    for 1989     and expire or are due to be terminated between OK?.89 and
   30.4.1989 .
   The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision was
   executed by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on30.1.1989
   that the conditions under which the agreements could be extended for a
   further year had been fulfilled .
    ~he commission services have also concluded that the extention of those
agreements has no implications for SME as well as for employment .
The following agreements concluded between Member States and EFTA countries
have been taken off the list , as , in accordance with the understanding
reached within the working Party EFTA , should be terminated or amended by
Member States     :
       - Italy - Austria of    19.6.1949 and           ( expiration 30.6.1989 )
                           of  14.11.1961
The Member State      concerned informed the Commission that'the
      review procedures for such agreements will soon be completed , therefore
the Commission considers that it should be possible to conclude them before
the agreements ! next expiration and that it is unnecessary to propose a
further extension of these agreements .
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 .
