Annex I to the Agreement was amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 149/2001 of
11 December 2001 (1).

Simplified procedures for handling certain acts in the veterinary field were adopted by Decision of
the EEA Joint Committee No 101/2001 of 28 September 2001 (2).

These procedures imply that the EFTA States with regard to application texts, lists of establishments
and safeguard and protective measures, all concerning imports from third countries, shall take
measures simultaneously with the EC Member States. Acts subject to these procedures, which are
already incorporated into the Agreement, should therefore be deleted from the Agreement.
