DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
No 249/2014
of 13 November 2014
amending Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement, on cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms [2015/1808]
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,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
It is appropriate to extend the cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to include Regulation (EU) No 377/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 establishing the Copernicus Programme and repealing Regulation (EU) No 911/2010 (1). |
|
(2) |
It is appropriate that the participation of EFTA States in the activities resulting from Regulation (EU) No 377/2014 commence from 1 January 2014 even if this Decision is adopted, or if the fulfilment of constitutional requirements for this Decision, if any, is notified after 10 July 2014. |
|
(3) |
Entities established in the EFTA States should be entitled to participate in activities which start before the entry into force of this Decision. The costs incurred for such activities, the implementation of which starts after 1 January 2014, may be considered eligible under the same conditions as those applicable to costs incurred by entities established in the EU Member States provided that this Decision enters into force before the end of the action concerned. |
|
(4) |
Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended in order to allow for this extended cooperation to take place from 1 January 2014, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The following paragraph is inserted after paragraph 8c of Article 1 of Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement:
