Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be adopted, on behalf of the European Union, within the EEA Joint Committee concerning amending the rules of procedure of the EEA Joint Committee (Croatia Enlargement)

The draft Decision of the EEA Joint Committee (annexed to the proposed Council Decision) aims to amend the rules of procedure of the EEA Joint Committee reflecting the Agreement on the participation of the Republic of Croatia in the European Economic Area (“the 2014 EEA Enlargement Agreement”), signed on 11 April 2014 in Brussels.

The 2014 EEA Enlargement Agreement has been provisionally applicable to its signatories since 12 April 2014. It amends Article 129(1) of the EEA Agreement to add Croatian to the list of languages of the EEA Agreement. The rules of procedure of the EEA Joint Committee should therefore be amended accordingly.
