DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
No 2/2018
of 9 February 2018
amending the rules of procedure of the EEA Joint Committee [2019/2038]
THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 92(3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The Agreement on the participation of the Republic of Croatia in the European Economic Area (1) (‘the 2014 EEA Enlargement Agreement’) signed on 11 April 2014, shall amend Article 129(1) of the EEA Agreement to add Croatian to the list of languages of the EEA Agreement. |
|
(2) |
In the rules of procedure of the EEA Joint Committee, which were adopted by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 1/94 of 8 February 1994 (2), amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 24/2005 of 8 February 2005 (3), and further amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 1/2018 of 9 February 2018 (4), Croatian should be added to the list of languages. Consequently, the list of languages to the rules of procedure of the EEA Joint Committee should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(3) |
The 2014 EEA Enlargement Agreement has been provisionally applicable to its signatories since 12 April 2014, and this Decision shall therefore apply provisionally pending the entry into force of the 2014 EEA Enlargement Agreement, |
