THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Articles 86 and 98 thereof,

Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on administrative cooperation through the Internal Market Information System and repealing Commission Decision 2008/49/EC (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(2)

Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 repeals Commission Decision 2008/49/EC (2), which is included into the EEA Agreement and consequently the reference to Decision 2008/49/EC should be deleted from the EEA Agreement.

(3)

Annex X and Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,

The words “Union acts” shall read “Union acts incorporated into the EEA Agreement”.’

Article 2

The text of the second indent (Commission Decision 2008/49/EC) of Article 17(6)(b) of Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement is deleted.
