No 82/2015
of 30 April 2015
         
amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2016/1265]


THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/244 of 16 February 2015 concerning the authorisation of Quinoline Yellow as a feed additive for non food-producing animals (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
