(1) The Agreement on the European Economic Area4 ('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, Annexes V (Free movement of workers) and VI (Social security) and Protocol 31 (On cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms) to the EEA Agreement.

(3) Regulation (EU) 2019/1149 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a European Labour Authority, amending Regulations (EC) No 883/2004, (EU) No 492/2011, and (EU) 2016/589 and repealing Decision (EU) 2016/3445 should be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(4) Annexes V (Free movement of workers) and VI (Social security) and Protocol 31 (On cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms) to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly.

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