DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

No 161/2014

of 25 September 2014

amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2015/1229]

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)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 630/2013 of 28 June 2013 amending the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(2)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 631/2013 of 28 June 2013 repealing Regulation (EC) No 546/2006 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 233/2012 (2) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(3)

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 631/2013 repeals Commission Regulations (EC) No 546/2006 of 31 March 2006 implementing Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards national scrapie control programmes and additional guarantees and derogating from certain requirements of Decision 2003/100/EC and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1874/2003 (3) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 233/2012 of 16 March 2012 implementing Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of the amended national scrapie control programme for Denmark (4), which are incorporated into the EEA Agreement and which are consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement.

(4)

This Decision concerns legislation regarding veterinary matters. Legislation regarding veterinary matters shall not apply to Liechtenstein as long as the application of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products is extended to Liechtenstein, as specified in the sectoral adaptations to Annex I to the EEA Agreement. This Decision is therefore not to apply to Liechtenstein.
