 ---pagebreak---                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Pursuant to Article 3 of the Counoll Decision of 16 December 1969
on the progressive standardization of agreements concerning
commercial relations between Member States and third oountries
and on negotiation of Community agreements, C D the Commission is
proposing to the Counoll that the Member States be authorized to
extend expressly or tacitly, provisions governing matters covered
by the common commercial policy contained in the friendship,
trade and navigation treaties and similar agreements annexed to
the attached proposal for a Council decision in so far as their
provisions are not contrary to existing common policies.
The prior consultation specified in Artiole 2 of the Decision was
executed by written procedure. The outcome was the recognition on
22.1.1991 that the conditions under which this extension can be
authorized for a further year had been fulfilled.
The Commission finds that the extension of the agreements has no
implications for SMEs or for employment.
The Treaty between Spain and Andorra is not included in the list
since it has been replaoed by an agreement in the form of an
exchange of lettres between the CEC and the Principality of
Andorra with effect from the 1.1.1991 (OJ L 374 of 31.12.1990).
The    list still     includes    certain agreements with EFTA
countries which, in accordance with the understanding reached
within the Working Party on EPTA, should be revised by the Member
States concerned
The Member States ooncerned has informed the Commission that the
review of these agreements will soon be oompleted, but that there
Is not enough time remaining before expiry to finalize the
updating. The Commission therefore oonsiders that a further
extension of these agreements is required.
The Commission would also point out that the proposals
authorizing the Member States to renew or extend certain
agreements in this batoh for a further year in no way prejudice
its position the next time these agreements come up for renewal.

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the automatic renewal or continuance in force of the friendship,
trade and navigation treaties and similar agreements concluded by Member
States was last authorized by Decision 90/61/EEC     ;
Whereas the Member States concerned have again requested authorization for
the automatic renewal or continuance in force of provisions governing
matters covered by the common commercial policy within the meaning of
Article 113 of the Treaty and contained in the friendship, trade and
navigation treaties and similar agreements listed in the Annex, in order to
avoid interrupting their commercial relations with the third countries
concerned as are based on such agreements;
Whereas, however, most of the matters covered by these provisions of
national treaties and agreements will in future be governed by Community
agreements; whereas, in that case, authorization should be given only in
respect of those matters not covered by Community agreements; whereas, in
addition, such authorization does not absolve the Member States from the
obligation of avoiding and, where appropriate, eliminating any
incompatibility between such treaties and agreements and the provisions of
Community law;
(1) OJ No L 42, 16.2.1990, p. 59
                                                                     - 2 -
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the provisions of the treaties and agreements to be automatically
renewed or maintained in force must 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 automatic renewal
or continuance in force of these treaties and agreements should not be such
as to constitute an obstacle to the opening of Community commercial
negotiations with the relevant third countries or the transfer of the
commercial fields covered by current bilateral agreements to Community
agreements;
Whereas, at the conclusion of the consultation provided for in Article 2 of
Decision 69/494/EEC, it was established, as the aforesaid statements by the
Member States confirm, that the provisions of the relevant treaties and
bilateral agreements will not, during the period under consideration,
constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial
policy;
                                                                      - 3 -
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas, nevertheless, the Member States concerned have stated that they
would be willing to adapt and, if necessary, terminate those treaties and
agreements should it be found, during the period under consideration, that
the automatic renewal or continuance in force of the provisions thereof
relating to matters covered by Article 113 of the Treaty hinder the
implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the treaties and agreements involved contain termination clauses
requiring a period of notice of between three and twelve months;
Whereas, therefore, there is no reason for not authorizing the automatic
renewal or continuance in force, until 31 December 1992 of the provisions
in question,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
                                  Article 1
The provisions governing matters covered by the common commercial policy
within the meaning of Article 113 of the Treaty and contained in the
friendship, trade and navigation treaties and similar agreements listed in
the Annex hereto may be automatically renewed or maintained in force until
31 December 1992 as regards those areas not covered by agreements between
the Community and the third countries concerned insofar as their provisions
are not contrary to existing common policies.
                                                                     - 4 -
