(1) The Agreement on the European Economic Area5 ('the EEA Agreement') entered into force on 1 January 1994.

(2) Pursuant to Article 98 of the EEA Agreement, the EEA Joint Committee may decide to amend, inter alia, Protocol 31 (on cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms) and Protocol 37 (containing the list provided for in Article 101) to the EEA Agreement.

(3) It is appropriate to extend the cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to include Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Council6.

(5) The position of the Union within the EEA Joint Committee should therefore be based on the attached draft Decision.
