The Committee adopted 28 decisions incorporating 52 legal acts into the EEA Agreement.

The Joint Committee, chaired this semester by the European External Action Service of the EU, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the EEA Agreement. It provides a forum for the EEA EFTA States and the EU to exchange views and take decisions by consensus to incorporate EU legislation into the EEA Agreement.
