The List is to serve as the reference document for the implementation of Chapter 4 (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures) of Title IV (Trade and Trade-related Matters) of the Association Agreement, and it is to be added to Annex V to Chapter 4 of the Association Agreement. Accordingly, Annex V to Chapter 4 of the Association Agreement is to be modified by means of a decision of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Management Sub-Committee (the ‘SPS Sub‐Committee’), as set out in subparagraph (c) of Article 74(2) of the Association Agreement.\n(4)\nUkraine submitted the List to the Commission in June 2016. The Union adopted its position as regards the modification of Annex V to Chapter 4 of the Association Agreement by means of Council Decision (EU) 2017/1391 on the basis of the List. Ukraine announced shortly thereafter that it considered it necessary to make further clarifications and changes concerning the deadlines for adoption, to make corrections, including in relation to the duplication of acts, and to add new acts. Consequently, the decision by the SPS Sub-Committee based on the Union's position adopted by Decision (EU) 2017/1391 was not adopted.\n(5)\nUkraine submitted a revised version of the List to the Commission in October 2018. Based on that revised version of the List, the SPS Sub-Committee is to adopt a decision modifying Annex V to Chapter 4 of the Association Agreement.\n(6)\nIt is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in the SPS Sub‐Committee as regards the modification of Annex V to Chapter 4 of the Association Agreement.\n(7)\nThe position of the Union within the SPS Sub-Committee should therefore be to support the modification of Annex V to Chapter 4 of the Association Agreement, as set out in the Annex to the SPS Sub-Committee draft decision.\n(8)\nBecause the List adopted by Decision (EU) 2017/1391 has been revised, it is necessary to repeal that Decision,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
