  In implementation of Artide 3 of thè Còuncil Decision of 16 December
  1969 ( 1 ) on thè progressive standardization of agreements concerning
  commercial relations between Member States and third countries and on
  negotiation of Community agreements , thè Commission proposes to thè
  Council that thè Member States should be authorized to extend,expressly
  or tacitly , thè trade agreements annexed to thè attached proposai for
  a Council decision . The agreements in question constitute thè 3rd batch
  for 1988 and expire or are due to be terminated between 01-08.88: and
  31 . 10.88 .
  The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of this Decision was
  executed by written procedure . The outcome was the recognition on 15.6.1988
  that the conditions under which the agreements could be extended for a
  further year had been fulfilled .
   'he Commi ssi on services have also concluded that the extention of thse
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 :
 - France-lce land of 06.12.1951     ( expiration 31.12.1988 )
 - I re land-Norway of 02.07.1951    ( expiration 31.12.1988 )
The Member States concerned informed the Commission that the denonciation
or 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 following agreements have been taken off the list as they have been
denounced :
- FRG-Austria of 13.05.1954 and 21.01.1963
- UEBL-Fi nland of 8.11.1955 .

    to avoiding any disruption of their commercial relations
