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 the Council Decision 69 / 49A / 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 ,

period has already been authorized in the" case of the Agreements and
Protocols listed in the Annex by Council Decision 80 / 159 / EEC ( 2 );

Whereas the Member States concerned have requested authorization to extend
or renew these Agreements with a view to avoiding interruption in their ,
 commercial relations" with the third countries concerned based on agreement ;
Whereas authorization has to be granted only for the maintenance of trade
 relations between the Member States and the third countries concerned , based
on agreements , pending their replacement by Community Agreements to be
negotiated ; whereas such authorization would not , therefore in any way modify
 the obligation of the' Member States to avoid and , where appropriate , eliminate
                                                                •  ' '                 ^

or rene-ed should not , during the period under consideration , constitute an
obstacleto the implementation of the common commercial policy ;
Whereas the Member States concerned have declared that, the extension t. r tacit
rcnc-ol of these Agreements would prevent neither the opening of Community
negotiations with the third countries concerned nor the transfer of the
co^.Tcrciul fabric thereof to Community Agreements , nor' would it , during the
period envisaged , hinder the adoption of the measures necessary to complete
the standardization of the import systems of the Member States ; .
Whereas , at the conclusion of the consultations provides for in Article 2 of
the Decision 69 / 494 / EEC it was established , as the aforesaid declarations by'
the Member States confirm , that the provisions of the Agreements to be extended
or renewed would not , during the period envisaged , constitute an obstacle to
the implementation of the common commercial policy;

renewed for a limited period ;                 . .
