Council Decision (EU) 2017/1967, adopted on 23 October 2017 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 28 October 2017, establishes the position of the European Union within the EEA Joint Committee concerning an amendment to Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement. The amendment extends cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to include the participation of the EFTA States in the Union's preparatory action on defence research, which is funded from the general budget of the European Union under budget line 02 04 77 03. The Decision applies from 11 April 2017, meaning that institutions, undertakings, organizations and nationals of the EFTA States are entitled to participate in activities which start before the entry into force of this Decision, with costs incurred for participation in activities whose implementation starts after 11 April 2017 considered eligible under the same conditions as those applicable to costs incurred by institutions, undertakings, organizations and nationals of the EU Member States. The EFTA States are required to contribute financially to the relevant activities in accordance with Article 82(1)(a) of the EEA Agreement. Notably, Iceland and Liechtenstein shall not participate in that preparatory action and shall not financially contribute to the activities. The EFTA States also declare that defence matters fall outside the scope of the EEA Agreement and that this Decision does not extend the scope of the EEA Agreement to include defence matters beyond participation in that preparatory action.
