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 proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 58 of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1) provides that in the field of trade, the first stage of agreement is to last five years running from the date of entry into force of the trade arrangements;
Whereas the said arrangements entered into force on 1 July 1980 by virtue of an Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and therefore expire on 30 June 1985;
Whereas Article 58 (2) provides that the Contracting Parties shall enter into negotiations in order to determine the trade arrangements to be applied subsequently; whereas these negotiations have not yet taken place;
Whereas, pending the entry into force of new arrangements, the term of validity of the arrangements applied by the Community to trade with Yugoslavia in the context of the abovementioned Cooperation Agreement should be extended in order to avoid suddenly interrupting certain traditional trade flows,
