Proposal for a
COUNCIL DECISION
on the position to be adopted, on behalf of the European Union, within the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee established by the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other, as regards the modification of Annex XI-B to that Agreement
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
·Reasons for and objectives of the proposal
The proposal concerns the decision establishing the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee (‘the SPS Sub-Committee’) established by the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part 1 (‘the Agreement’) on the modification of Annex XI-B to the Agreement.
The Agreement entered into force on 1 July 2016. Its Article 55(1) establishes that Georgia is to gradually approximate its sanitary and phytosanitary, animal welfare and other legislative measures to those of the Union. Annex XI-B to the Agreement lists the relevant Union legislation to which Georgia is to align. The currently applicable Annex XI-B was adopted on 7 March 2017 by Decision No 1/2017 of the SPS Sub-Committee 2 .
Since then, a number of acts present on the list has been repealed by the Union and replaced by newly established acts, while other acts have exhausted their legal effect. In addition, parties to the Agreement consider that a limited number of acts are not applicable to Georgia and they should not have been added in the first place. The proposed modification of Annex XI-B has the purpose of adding a number of acts that replace the acts listed therein that have been repealed and deleting a number of acts whose legal effect has been exhausted or that are considered no longer relevant to Georgia.
·Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area
This proposal implements the Union’s common commercial policy towards Georgia, an Eastern Neighbourhood Partner country, on the basis of the provisions of the Agreement and in particular its objective to create a free-trade area. This proposal implements the Agreement’s provisions that aim to boost agricultural trade and in particular improve the agricultural export capacity of Georgia, on the basis of the Union acquis.
·Consistency with other Union policies
This proposal is consistent with and contributes to the implementation of other external policies of the Union, notably the European Neighbourhood Policy and the development cooperation policy in relation to Georgia.
2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
2.1.Procedural legal basis
2.1.1.Principles
Article 218(9) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) provides for the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, to adopt decisions establishing ‘the positions to be adopted on the Union’s behalf in a body set up by an agreement, when that body is called upon to adopt acts having legal effects, with the exception of acts supplementing or amending the institutional framework of the agreement.’
Article 218(9) TFEU applies regardless of whether the Union is a member of the body or a party to the agreement 3 .
The concept of ‘acts having legal effects’ includes acts that have legal effects by virtue of the rules of international law governing the body in question. It also includes instruments that do not have a binding effect under international law, but that are ‘capable of decisively influencing the content of the legislation adopted by the EU legislature’ 4 .
2.1.2.Application to the present case
The SPS Sub-Committee is a body set up by an agreement, namely the Agreement, signed on 16 of June 2014 and entered into force on 1 July 2016.
The Union, together with its Member States, and the European Atomic Energy Community are Parties to the Agreement.
The envisaged act, which the SPS Sub-Committee is called upon to adopt, constitutes an act having legal effects. The envisaged act will be binding on the Parties under international law in accordance with Articles 408 and 409 of the Agreement.
The envisaged act does not supplement or amend the institutional framework of the Agreement.
Therefore, the procedural legal basis for the proposed decision is Article 218(9) TFEU.
2.2.Substantive legal basis
2.2.1.Principles
The substantive legal basis for a decision under Article 218(9) TFEU depends primarily on the objective and content of the envisaged act in respect of which a position is taken on the Union's behalf. If the envisaged act pursues two aims or has two components and if one of those aims or components is identifiable as the main one, whereas the other is merely incidental, the decision under Article 218(9) TFEU must be founded on a single substantive legal basis, namely that required by the main or predominant aim or component.
With regard to an envisaged act that simultaneously pursues a number of objectives, or that has several components, which are inseparably linked without one being incidental to the other, the substantive legal basis of a decision under Article 218(9) TFEU will have to include, exceptionally, the various corresponding legal bases.
2.2.2.Application to the present case
The envisaged act pursues the addition of a number of acts that replace the acts listed in Annex XI-B that have been repealed and the deletion of a number of acts whose legal effect has been exhausted or that are considered no longer relevant to Georgia. It has components falling within the areas of the common commercial policy.
Therefore, the substantive legal basis of the proposed decision is Article 207(4) TFEU.
2.3.Conclusion
The legal bases of the proposed decision should be Article 207(4) in conjunction with Article 218(9) TFEU.
·Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)
The common commercial policy, in accordance with Article 3 of the TFEU, is defined as an exclusive Union competence. Therefore, the subsidiarity principle does not apply.
·Proportionality
This proposal is necessary in order to implement the Union’s international commitments set out in the Agreement with Georgia.
·Choice of the instrument
This proposal is in accordance with Article 218(9) of the TFEU, which envisages the adoption by the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, of a decision establishing the position to be adopted on the Union's behalf in a body set up by an agreement, when that body is called upon to adopt acts having legal effects.
3.RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
·Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation
Not applicable.
·Stakeholder consultations
Georgia prepared the list of Union acquis to which it is to approximate its domestic legislation, in line with appropriate domestic procedures. EU stakeholder consultations are not applicable to this proposal.
·Collection and use of expertise
The Union made its expertise in sanitary, phytosanitary and animal welfare matters available to the authorities of Georgia for the purpose of preparing the list of the Union acquis intended for approximation by that partner country.
·Impact assessment
Not applicable.
·Regulatory fitness and simplification
Not applicable.
·Fundamental rights
The proposal does not have consequences for the protection of fundamental rights in the Union.
4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
5.OTHER ELEMENTS
·Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements
The implementation of the Agreement is reviewed regularly by the EU-Georgia Association Council and its subordinate bodies established by the Agreement. The SPS Sub-committee oversees the implementation of Chapter 4 on sanitary and phytosanitary measures of the Agreement and its Annex XI-B.
·Explanatory documents (for directives)
Not applicable.
·Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal
The proposal aims to adopt a Union position in relation to the modification of Annex XI-B to the Agreement. In accordance with Article 55(1) of the Agreement, Annex XI-B lists the Union acquis to which Georgia is to approximate its legislation in the area of sanitary, phytosanitary and animal welfare measures, for the purpose of achieving a status of equivalence for a product or a group of products, as provided for in Article 57 of the Agreement.
Georgia prepared such a list of the Union acquis in accordance with its domestic procedures, submitted the proposal to the Commission in February 2015 and finalised it, in consultation with the Commission, in December 2015. The Sub-Committee modified Annex XI-B by Decision No 1/2017 5 . Since then, a number of acts present in Annex XI-B were repealed by the Union and replaced by newly established acts, while other acts had exhausted their legal effect. In addition, the parties consider a limited number of acts not applicable to Georgia.
The proposal therefore aims to update Annex XI-B by adding a number of acts that replace the measures listed therein that have been repealed and by deleting a number of acts that have exhausted their legal effect or have been considered no longer applicable to Georgia since the adoption of Annex XI-B by Decision No 1/2017 of the SPS Sub-Committee.
The SPS Sub-Committee is empowered to take a decision on the modification of Annex XI-B in accordance with Article 65 of the Agreement. In line with the provisions of that article, the SPS Sub-Committee monitors the implementation of Chapter 4 (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures) of Title IV (Trade and trade-related matters) of the Agreement and takes decisions, as appropriate, on the modification of Annexes IV-XII to the Agreement.
The following sections set out the modifications to be made to Annex XI-B.

Proposal for a
COUNCIL DECISION
on the position to be adopted, on behalf of the European Union, within the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee established by the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other, as regards the modification of Annex XI-B to that Agreement
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)The Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part (‘the Agreement’) was concluded by Council Decision 2014/494/EU 6 and entered into force on 1 July 2016.
(2)Pursuant to Article 65 of the Agreement, the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee (‘the SPS Sub-Committee’) may adopt decisions on any matter relating to Chapter 4 (Sanitary and phytosanitary measures) of Title IV (Trade and Trade-related Matters), including its implementation, and is empowered to review and modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement.
(3)The SPS Sub-Committee during its […] meeting on […] is to adopt a decision on the modification of Annex XI-B to the Agreement, which contains an approximation list of Union acts in the sanitary and phytosanitary as well as animal welfare areas to which Georgia is to gradually approximate its legislation pursuant to Article 55(1) of the Agreement.
(4)Decision No 1/2017 7 of the EU-Georgia Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee of 7 March 2017 finalised the approximation list set out in Annex XI-B to the Agreement.
(5)At seven yearly meetings of the SPS Sub-Committee, Georgia has informed the Commission on the progress made regarding the approximation to Union legislation. Similarly, Georgia has informed the Commission of what acts should be removed from Annex XI-B on the consideration that these acts are not relevant for Georgia given that they are only applicable to EU Member States.
(6)Several Union acts listed in Annex XI-B to the Agreement have been repealed by the EU and a subset of these have been replaced by newly established acts since the adoption of Decision No 1/2017 of the SPS Sub-Committee of 7 March 2017. Other acts have exhausted their legal effect in the meantime.
(7)It is thus necessary to modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement in order to reflect the evolution of the Union acquis listed in that Annex and to replace it.
(8)It is therefore appropriate to establish the position to be adopted on the Union's behalf within the SPS Sub-Committee with regard to the modification of Annex XI-B to the Agreement,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be adopted on the Union's behalf in the […] meeting of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee established by Article 65 of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part, as regards the modification of Annex XI-B to the Agreement, shall be in accordance with the draft decision of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee attached as Annex to this Decision.
Minor technical changes to the wording of the draft decision attached as Annex to this Decision, which do not jeopardise the attainment of the objective of said modifications, may be agreed by the representatives of the Union within the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee without further decision of the Council.

DECISION No 1/2022 OF THE EU-GEORGIA SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY SUB-COMMITTEE
of […] 2022
modifying Annex XI-B to the Association Agreement
THE SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY SUB-COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part, and in particular Articles 55 and 65 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)The Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part ( 1 ) (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 1 July 2016.
(2)Pursuant to Article 55(1) of the Agreement, Georgia is to gradually approximate its sanitary and phytosanitary, animal welfare and other legislative measures to those of the Union as set out in Annex XI-B to the Agreement.
(3)Article 65 of the Agreement established the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee (‘SPS Sub-Committee’), which is to consider any matter relating to Chapter 4 (Sanitary and phytosanitary measures) of Title IV (Trade and Trade-related Matters), including its implementation, and is empowered to review and modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement.
(4)Since 2016, a number of acts present on the list laid down in Annex XI-B have been repealed by the Union and replaced by newly established acts, while other acts have exhausted their legal effect. In addition, the parties consider that a limited number of acts are not relevant for Georgia given that they are only applicable to EU Member States.
(5)It is thus necessary to modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement in order to reflect the evolution of the Union acquis listed in that Annex and to replace it. It is also appropriate to provide for a period for Georgia to implement the new Union acts in its domestic legislation. Accordingly, new deadlines for approximation of Georgian legislative acts to the Union acts listed in Annex XI-B to the Agreement should be indicated therein.
(6)It is appropriate that the SPS Sub-Committee takes a decision to approve the amendment of Annex XI-B to the Agreement,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annex XI-B to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part, shall be modified as set out in the Annex to this Decision and replaced by it.
Article 2
