No 242/2015
of 30 October 2015
         
amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2017/1031]


THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 98 thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1103 of 8 July 2015 concerning the authorisation of beta-carotene as a feed additive for all animal species (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

Legislation regarding feedingstuffs 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.
