In connection therewith, I wish to confirm the agreement reached between the European Community and the Argentine Republic to extend until 31 December 1991 all of those rights and obligations in the Agreement which would otherwise expire on 31 December  1990. This extension shall be without prejudice to the continuation in force of those rights and obligations in the Agreement which do not expire on 31 December 1990.
