               (2)
            
            
               The purpose of Annex 4 is to facilitate trade between the Parties in plants, plant products and other objects subject to plant health measures. The said Annex 4 is to be supplemented by a number of Appendices as described in the Joint Declaration on the implementation of Annex 4 annexed to the Agreement (with the exception of Appendix 5, which was adopted at the time the Agreement was concluded).
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The Appendices to Annex 4 were respectively replaced by Decision No 1/2004 of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, attached to Commission Decision 2004/278/EC (1) and Decisions No 2/2005 (2) and No 1/2008 (3) of the Joint Committee on Agriculture.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Since the entry into force on the abovementioned Decisions, the legislative provisions of the Parties in the plant health field have been amended in areas which affect the Agreement.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Appendices 1, 2 and 4 to Annex 4 should therefore be amended to take into account these various changes,
