1. 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 in question constitute the first batch for 1983 and expire
   or are due to be terminated between 1 February and 30 April 1983.
   The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision was executed
   by written procedure. The outcome was the recognition on 31 January 1983
   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 furhter one-year period
   are by no means indicative of any position it might adopt next time these
   agreements come up for renewal.
