               Commission Implementing Decision 2014/91/EU of 14 February 2014 amending Annex II to Decision 93/52/EEC as regards the recognition of certain regions of Italy and Spain as officially free of brucellosis (B. melitensis) and amending Annexes I, II and III to Decision 2003/467/EC as regards the declaration of Hungary as officially tuberculosis-free, Romania and certain regions of Italy as officially brucellosis-free, and certain regions of Italy as officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free (2) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Commission Implementing Decision 2014/177/EU of 27 March 2014 amending Annex II to Decision 2003/467/EC as regards the declaration of Lithuania as officially brucellosis-free (3) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               This Decision concerns legislation regarding live animals other than fish and aquaculture animals. Legislation concerning these matters shall not apply to Iceland, as specified in paragraph 2 of the Introductory Part of Chapter I of Annex I to the EEA Agreement. This Decision is therefore not to apply to Iceland.

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.
