            DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
      No 64/2016
      of 18 March 2016
      amending Protocol 47 (on the abolition of technical barriers to trade in wine) to the EEA Agreement [2017/1894]
      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 Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1576 of 6 July 2015 amending Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 as regards certain oenological practices and Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 as regards the registering of those practices in the wine sector registers (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
               
            
                  (2)
               
               
                  This Decision concerns legislation regarding wine. Legislation regarding wine 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 seventh paragraph of the introduction to Protocol 47 to the EEA Agreement. This Decision is therefore not to apply to Liechtenstein.
               
            
                  (3)
               
               
                  Protocol 47 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
