            DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

      of 30 April 2015
      amending Annex II (Technical regulations, standards, testing and certification) to the EEA Agreement [2016/1270]
      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) 2015/174 of 5 February 2015 amending and correcting 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.
               
            
                  (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.
               
            
                  (3)
               
               
                  Annex II to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,
