                  (2)
               
               
                  Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/266 of 16 February 2015 recognising the Isle of Man as free of varroosis and amending the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/503/EU (2) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

                  This Decision concerns legislation regarding veterinary matters. Legislation regarding veterinary matters 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.
