         of 2 December 2016
         amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) to the EEA Agreement [2018/1166]
         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) 2015/1933 of 27 October 2015 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cocoa fibre, banana chips, food supplements, dried herbs and dried spices (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1940 of 28 October 2015 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels of ergot sclerotia in certain unprocessed cereals and the provisions on monitoring and reporting (2) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

                     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,
