DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
No 119/2017
of 7 July 2017
amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2019/726]
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) 2017/185 of 2 February 2017 laying down transitional measures for the application of certain provisions of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement. |
|
(2) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1079/2013 (2), which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement, expired on 31 December 2016 and consequently the reference thereto should be deleted from the EEA Agreement. |
|
(3) |
Commission Decision 2010/680/EU (3), which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement, was repealed by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/478 (4) with effect from 1 January 2018 and is consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement.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. |
|
(5) |
Annex I to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly, |

|
2. |
Under the heading ‘ACTS OF WHICH THE EFTA STATES AND THE EFTA SURVEILLANCE AUTHORITY SHALL TAKE DUE ACCOUNT’ in part 2 of Chapter III, point 82 (Commission Decision 2010/680/EU) is deleted with effect from 1 January 2018. |
