         DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
         No 3/2018
         of 9 February 2018
         amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2019/2039]
         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 Decision (EU) 2016/1365 of 9 August 2016 amending Decision 98/536/EC as regards the list of national reference laboratories (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     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.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     Annex I to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,

            Article 1
            Point 39 (Commission Decision 98/536/EC) in Part 6.2 of Chapter I of Annex I to the EEA Agreement is amended as follows:
            
                        (1)
