         of 9 February 2018
         amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2019/2041]
         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) 2017/736 of 26 April 2017 amending Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of Slovenia’s national control programme for classical scrapie (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1396 of 26 July 2017 amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Poland and certain regions of the United Kingdom (2) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     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.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     Annex I to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
