THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/992 of 9 July 2020 concerning the authorisation of a preparation of 6-phytase, produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 25770) as feed additive for all avian species for laying (holder of the authorisation BASF SE) ( 1 ) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1033 of 15 July 2020 concerning the renewal of the authorisation of L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13870 and the authorisation of L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80182 as feed additives for all animal species, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1139/2007 ( 2 ) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1033 repeals Commission Regulation (EC) No 1139/2007 ( 3 ) , which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement and which is consequently to be repealed under the EEA Agreement.

(4) This Decision concerns legislation regarding feedingstuffs. Legislation regarding feedingstuffs 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 sectoral adaptations to Annex I to the EEA Agreement.
