DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

of 8 November 2013

amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) 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)

Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 6/2012 of 10 February 2012 amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) to the EEA Agreement (1) deleted the text of point 1 of Chapter I of Annex II to the EEA Agreement.

(2)

Directive 2000/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the front underrun protection of motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC (2) and Directive 2001/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2001 relating to heating systems for motor vehicles and their trailers, amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC and repealing Council Directive 78/548/EEC (3), which were both incorporated into the EEA Agreement as indents under point 1 of Chapter I of Annex II, were erroneously repealed by Decision No 6/2012.

(3)

Directive 2000/40/EC is therefore to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(4)

Directive 2001/56/EC is therefore to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(5)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement, repeals, with effect from 1 November 2014, Directives 2000/40/EC and 2001/56/EC, which are consequently to be repealed with effect from 1 November 2014.

(6)

Annex II to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
