DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

No 201/2015

of 25 September 2015

amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2017/508]

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 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 483/2014 of 8 May 2014 on protection measures in relation to porcine diarrhoea caused by a deltacoronavirus as regards the animal health requirements for the introduction into the Union of spray dried blood and blood plasma of porcine origin intended for the production of feed for farmed porcine animals (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(2)

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.

(3)	Annex I to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
