               Commission Regulation (EU) No 251/2013 of 22 March 2013 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for aminopyralid, bifenazate, captan, fluazinam, fluopicolide, folpet, kresoxim-methyl, penthiopyrad, proquinazid, pyridate and tembotrione in or on certain products (3) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

               This Decision concerns legislation regarding feedingstuffs and foodstuffs.

This Decision is therefore not to apply to Liechtenstein.
