(2)
Article 18 of the Agreement provides that the Joint Committee may, by decision, adopt amendments to the Agreement, inter alia, to Annex II to the Agreement, dealing with the coordination of social security schemes.

In order to ensure the coherent and correct application of legal acts of the Union and to avoid administrative and possibly legal difficulties, Annex II to the Agreement needs to be amended to integrate new legal acts of the Union to which the Agreement does not currently refer.

In the interests of clarity and rationality, Annex II to the Agreement and the Protocol to that Annex should be codified.

In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
