Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be taken by the European Union within the Joint Committee on Agriculture set up by the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products, as regards amendment of the Annex to the Additional Agreement between the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein

The Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products entered into force on 1 June 2002. Article 6 of the Agreement sets up a Joint Committee on Agriculture, which is responsible for the administration of the Agreement and ensures its good functioning.

The Additional Agreement between the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein extending to the Principality of Liechtenstein the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (‘the Additional Agreement’) entered into force on 13 October 2007.

Pursuant to Article 2(2) of the Additional Agreement, the Joint Committee on Agriculture may amend the Annex to the Additional Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 6 and 11 of the Agreement.

The Annex to the Additional Agreement should be amended in order to update the details of the competent Liechtenstein government agency and to take into account the amendments to Annex 7 and Annex 12 to the Agreement. The Annex to the Additional Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly.
