The application of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 is therefore without prejudice to the scope of the EEA Agreement.\n(10)\nThe EFTA Surveillance Authority should coordinate closely with the European Commission whenever it is called to undertake tasks relating to Iceland and Norway pursuant to this Decision.\n(11)\nThe competences of the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the EFTA Court pursuant to this Decision are limited to the obligations hereby undertaken.\n(12)\nProtocol 31 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended in order to allow for that extended cooperation to take place,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:\nDone at Brussels, […].\nFor the EEA Joint Committee\nThe President\nThe Secretaries\nTo the EEA Joint Committee",
