         DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
         No 47/2018
         of 23 March 2018

         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/79 of 18 January 2018 amending Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

                     This Decision concerns legislation regarding foodstuffs.

This Decision is therefore not to apply to Liechtenstein.
