DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

No 139/2016

of 8 July 2016

amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) to the EEA Agreement [2018/361]

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) 2015/704 of 30 April 2015 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards the maximum level of non-dioxin-like PCBs in wild caught spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias(1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

Regulation (EU) 2015/705 repeals Commission Directive 80/891/EEC (3), which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement and which is consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement.

Legislation regarding foodstuffs 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 introduction to Chapter XII of Annex II to the EEA Agreement.
