            DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
      No 208/2015
      of 25 September 2015
      amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) to the EEA Agreement [2017/515]
      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)
               
               
                  Directive (EU) 2015/254 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2015 repealing Council Directive 93/5/EEC on assistance to the Commission and cooperation by the Member States in the scientific examination of questions relating to food (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
               
            
                  (2)
               
               
                  Directive (EU) 2015/254 repeals Council Directive 93/5/EEC (2), which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement and which is consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement.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.
               
            
                  (4)
               
               
                  Annex II to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
