(2) Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 repeals, with effect from 1 September 2013, Commission Directive 98/11/EC (2) which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement and which is consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement with effect from 1 September 2013.

(3) Council Directive 78/170/EEC (3) was repealed by Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), which are both incorporated into the EEA Agreement, and consequently the reference to Directive 78/170/EEC should be deleted from the EEA Agreement.
