Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be adopted in the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee established by the Association Agreement between the European Union and Georgia

The attached proposal establishes the Union position on a Decision by the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee under the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part on the modification of Annex XI of the Agreement. The Agreement was signed on 16 June 2014, and is provisionally applied in part, since 1 September 2014.

The proposed modification aims to implement the provisions of Chapter 4 (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures) of Title IV (Trade and trade-related matters) of the Agreement. In particular, in Article 55 of the Agreement Georgia committed to submit a list of Union sanitary and phytosanitary acquis to which it intends to approximate its domestic legislation. That list is to be added to Annex XI of the Agreement, by decision of the EU-Georgia Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee.
