(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 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 established under Article 164(1) thereof (‘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) Whilst Articles 40, 41 and 43 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 of the European Parliament and of the Council6 are applicable pursuant to Article 13(3) of the Windsor Framework, the remainder of the provisions of that Regulation, with the exception of Articles 5-27, 30, 35-37, 42, 45 and paragraphs 1-5 of Article 44 thereof, are provisions of a newly adopted Union act falling within the scope of the Windsor Framework which should be added to Annex 2 to the Windsor Framework.

(4) The Joint Committee, at 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 5-27, 30, 35-37, 42, 45 and paragraphs 1-5 of Article 44 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 as regards the adoption of a decision adding the newly adopted Union act to Annex 2 to the Windsor Framework.
