         DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
   No 78/2014
   of 16 May 2014
   amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) to the EEA Agreement
   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 Regulation (EU) No 1274/2013 of 6 December 2013 amending and correcting Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards certain food additives (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EU) No 59/2014 of 23 January 2014 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of sulphur dioxide — sulphites (E 220-228) in aromatised wine-based products (2) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               This Decision concerns legislation regarding foodstuffs. Legislation regarding foodstuffs 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 introduction to Chapter XII of Annex II to the EEA Agreement. This Decision is therefore not to apply to Liechtenstein.
