(1) The Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (‘the Withdrawal Agreement’) was concluded by the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2020/1354 of 30 January 2020 and entered into force on 1 February 2020.

(2) Pursuant to Article 13(4) of the Windsor Framework5, which forms an integral part of the Withdrawal Agreement, the Joint Committee is empowered to adopt decisions to amend the relevant Annexes to the Windsor Framework by adding newly adopted Union acts that fall within the scope of the Windsor Framework, but which neither amend nor replace Union acts listed in the Annexes to the Windsor Framework.

(3) Regulation (EU) 2023/2411 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 October 2023 on the protection of geographical indications for craft and industrial products and amending Regulations (EU) 2017/1001 and (EU) 2019/17536 is a newly adopted Union act that, with the exception of Articles 63 and 64 thereof, relates to the internal market for goods and therefore falls within the scope of the Windsor Framework.

(4) The Joint Committee, during its next meeting, should adopt a decision pursuant to Article 13(4) of the Windsor Framework adding this newly adopted Union act, with the exception of Articles 63 and 64 thereof, to Annex 2 to the Windsor Framework.

(5) It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in the Joint Committee.
