of 15 March 2024

THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

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

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2583 of 20 November 2023 concerning the authorisation of L-isoleucine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80185 as a feed additive for all animal species (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(3)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2594 repeals Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 532/2011 (3), which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement and which is consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement.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.
