Pursuant to Article 3 of the Council Decision of 16 December 1969
on the progressive standardization of agreements concerning
commercial relations between Member States and third countries
and on negotiation of Community agreements, C D the Commission is
proposing to the Council that the Member States be authorized to
extend or tacitly renew the trade agreements annexed to the
attached proposal for a Council decision.
The agreements in question constitute the 1st batch for 1991 and
expire or are due to be terminated between 1.2.1991 and
30.4.1991.
The prior consultation specified in Article 2 of the Decision was
executed by written procedure. The outcome was the recognition on
30.1.1991 that the conditions under which the agreements could be
extended 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 Commission would also point out that the proposals
authorizing the Member States to renew or extend certain
agreements in this batch for a further year in no way prejudice
its position the next time these agreements come up for renewal.

                                Of
        authorizing extension or taolt renewal of certain
            trade agreements conoluded between Member
                    States and third oountries
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 Counoil 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 agreementsCD, and in
particular Artiole 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 Decision
90/225/EECC2>,
Whereas the Member States oonoerned have, with a view to avoiding
any disruption of their commercial relations with third countries
concerned based on Agreement, requested authorization to extend
or renew the abovementloned Agreements,
Whereas, however, most of the areas oovered by these national
Agreements are henoeforth the subject of Community Agreements;
whereas in this situation, there should be authorization for the
maintenance of national Agreements only for those areais 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 Ageements to be either prolonged or
renewed should not furthemore, during the period under
consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of
the common commercial polioy,
CD    OJ No L 326, 29.12.1969, p. 39.
C2)   OJ NO L 120, 11.3.1990, p. 72
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the Member States oonoerned have declared that the
extension or tacit renewal of these Agreements would neither
constitute an obstaole to the opening of Community negotiations
with the third countries oonoerned and the transfer of the
commercial substance of those Agreements to Community Agreements
nor, during the period under consideration, hinder the adoption
of the measures necessary to oomplete the st andardization of the
import arrangements of 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 extended 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION :
                            Article 1
The Trade Agreements and Protocols between Member States and
third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, may be extended
or tacitly renewed up to the dates indicated for each of them for
those areas not covered by Agreements between the Community and
the third countries concerned and insofar as their provisions are
not contrary to existing common policies.
                            Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
