DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
No 26/2013
of 1 February 2013
amending Annex XX (Environment) to the EEA Agreement
THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 98 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 on the banning of exports of metallic mercury and certain mercury compounds and mixtures and the safe storage of metallic mercury (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 shall be read taking account of the fact that trade with third countries falls outside the scope of the EEA Agreement and thus the provisions of the Regulation prohibiting the export of mercury are not applicable to the EFTA States. However, as the provisions concerning mercury as waste are EEA relevant, the EFTA States will cooperate to ensure that the export ban is effective. |
(3) |
Annex XX to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The following point is inserted after point 22 (Council Directive 96/59/EC) of Annex XX to the EEA Agreement:
‘22a. |
32008 R 1102: Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 on the banning of exports of metallic mercury and certain mercury compounds and mixtures and the safe storage of metallic mercury (OJ L 304, 14.11.2008, p. 75). The provisions of the Regulation shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be read with the following adaptations:
|
Article 2
The text of Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 in the Icelandic and Norwegian languages, to be published in the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, shall be authentic.
Article 3
This Decision shall enter into force on 2 February 2013, provided that all the notifications under Article 103(1) of the EEA Agreement have been made (*1).
Article 4
This Decision shall be published in the EEA Section of, and in the EEA Supplement to, the Official Journal of the European Union.
Done at Brussels, 1 February 2013.
For the EEA Joint Committee
