table>(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 (1) (‘the Withdrawal Agreement’) was concluded by the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2020/135 (2) and entered into force on 1 February 2020.
(2)Pursuant to Article 13(4) of the Windsor Framework (3), which forms an integral part of the Withdrawal Agreement, the Joint Committee established by Article 164(1) 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)Regulations (EU) 2023/1077 (4) and (EU) 2023/1524 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council are newly adopted Union acts that relate to the trade in goods with third countries and therefore fall within the scope of the Windsor Framework.

(4)The Joint Committee, during its next meeting, is to adopt a decision pursuant to Article 13(4) of the Windsor Framework adding those two newly adopted Union acts to Annex 2 to the Windsor Framework.

(5)It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf within the Joint Committee as regards the adoption of a decision adding two newly adopted Union acts to Annex 2 to the Windsor Framework,
