                              Proposal for a
                             COUNCIL DECISION
   authorizing extension or tacit renewal of certain trade agreements
        concluded between the Member States and third countries
              ( submitted to the Council by the Commission )
 ---pagebreak---                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
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 fourth batch for 1982 and expire
or are due to be terminated between 1 November 1982 and 31 January 1983 .
      The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision was
executed by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on 1 October
1982 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 , more."er , that
the proposals for authorizing the Member States to renew or extend ,
expressly or tacitly , certain agreements in this batch for a further oneyear
period are by no means indicative of any position it might adopt next time
these agreements come up for renewal .

 ---pagebreak---                                 COUNCIL DECISION
    authorizing extension or tacit renewal of certain trade agreements concluded
                            between the Member States and third countries
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 Council Decision 69 / 494 / EEC of 16 December 1969 on the
progressive standardization of agreements concerning commercial relations between
Member States and third countries and on the negotiation of Community agreements
( 1 ), and in particular Article 3 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas extension or tacit renewal beyond the end of the transitional period was
last authorized in the case of the Agreements and Protocols listed in the Annex
by Council Decision 82 /I / EEC ( 2 ),
Whereas the Member States concerned have , with a view to avoiding disruption of
their commercial relations with the third countries concerned based on agreement ,
requested authorization to extend or renew the abovementioned Agreements ;
Whereas , however , most of the areas covered by these national agreements are
henceforth the subject of Community agreements ; whereas in this situation there
should be authorization for the maintenance of national agreements only for
those areas not covered by Community agreements ; whereas , in addition , such
authorization should not , therefore , adversely affect the obligation incumbent
upon the Member States to avoid and , where appropriate, to eliminate any
incompatibility between such agreements and the provisions of Community law;
Whereas the provisions of the instruments to be either prolonged or renewed
should not furthermore , during the period under consideration, constitute an
obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy ;
Whereas the Member States concerned have declared that the extension or tacit
 renewal of these agreements whould neither constitute an obstacle to the
opening of Community negotiations with the third countries concerned and the
transfer of the commercial substance thereof to Community agreements nor ,
during the period under consideration, hinder the adoption of the measures
 necessary to complete the standardization of the import arrangements applied
by the Member States ;
 Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2 of
 Decision 69 / 494 / EEC it was established , as the aforesaid declarations by the
Member States concerned confirm , that the provisions of the agreements to be
prolonged or renewed would not , during the period under consideration, constitute
 an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy ;
 Whereas , in these circumstances , the agreements concerned may be either extended
or tacitly renewed for a limited period ,
                                                                                ./.
