Expiring trade agreements

It appears to me that if you have a trade agreement set to expire, with resultant negative consequences to your economy, that there is nothing you can do to avoid at least one "bad" turn that kills your economy. In other words, if your agreement to trade dye for silver is set to expire on Turn 300, you can't extend the deal on turn 299, but when you hit NEXT TURN, the deal expires before it calculates your economy, and if the deal expiring has major negative consquences (unhappiness, huge deficit on your net income, etc.), it hits you with those penalties for one turn, even though you are able to immediately renegotiate the same treaty with your neighbor.

This seems really screwed up to me. In my current game it's essentially ruinous since my economy and happiness is very dependent on many trade agreements, and every few turns one is expiring and wiping out my fragile balance sheet.

Have anyone figured out a way to deal with this?
