            DECISION No 1/2023 OF THE EU-GEORGIA SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY SUB-COMMITTEE
         
of 6 March 2023
         
modifying Annex XI-B to the Association Agreement (2023/812)


THE SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY SUB-COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part, and in particular Articles 55 and 65 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


The Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part (1) (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 1 July 2016.












(2)


Pursuant to Article 55(1) of the Agreement, Georgia is to gradually approximate its sanitary and phytosanitary, animal welfare and other legislative measures to those of the Union as set out in Annex XI-B to the Agreement.












(3)


Article 65 of the Agreement established the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee (‘SPS Sub-Committee’), which is to consider any matter relating to Chapter 4 (Sanitary and phytosanitary measures) of Title IV (Trade and Trade-related Matters) of the Agreement, including its implementation, and is empowered to review and modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement.












(4)


Since the adoption of Decision No 1/2017 of the EU-Georgia Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee (2) several Union legal acts listed in Annex XI-B to the Agreement have been repealed and some of those repealed Union legal acts have been replaced by new Union acts, while other Union legal acts have exhausted their legal effect. In addition, the parties to the Agreeement consider that a limited number of Union legal acts are not relevant for Georgia as they are only applicable to EU Member States.












(5)


It is thus necessary to modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement in order to reflect the evolution of the Union acquis listed in that Annex and to replace it. It is also appropriate to provide for a period during which Georgia is to approximate its legislation to the new Union legal acts. Accordingly, new deadlines for the approximation of Georgian legislation to the Union legal acts listed in Annex XI-B to the Agreement should be indicated therein.












(6)


It is appropriate for the SPS Sub-Committee to take a decision to modify Annex XI-B to the Agreement to include the list as set out in the Annex to this Decision,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
Annex XI-B to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part, is hereby modified as set out in the Annex to this Decision and replaced by it.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
