         DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

   of 3 May 2013

   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 2012/12/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 April 2012 amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               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.

               Annex II to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
