         DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
         No 103/2018
         of 31 May 2018
         amending Annex I (Veterinary and phytosanitary matters) to the EEA Agreement [2020/1607]
         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) 2017/949 of 2 June 2017 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the configuration of the identification code for bovine animals and amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2004 (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,
