Legislation and procedures. The EEA Agreement is based on the primary legislation (Treaty of Rome) of the European Union, and on the succeeding secondary legislation (EEA-relevant regulations, directives, decisions, and certain non-binding instruments adopted by the EU institutions on an ongoing basis - also referred to as acquis communautaire). Hence, a large part of the EEA Agreement is identical to the relevant parts governing the four freedoms as laid down in the Treaty of Rome of 1957. The EEA Agreement is made up of 129 articles as well as 22 annexes and 49 protocols. The annexes refer to the acquis communautaire applicable in the EEA. The protocols include provisions on specific areas such as rules on the origin of goods, transition periods for the EEA EFTA States in certain fields, and simplified customs procedures. The dynamic aspects of the Agreement One of the central features of the EEA Agreement is that its common rules are continuously updated by adding new EC legislation. This aspect is essential given the large output of Community legislation on the Internal Market. Each month, a number of EEA-relevant pieces of legislation are incorporated into the EEA Agreement by decisions of the EEA Joint Committee. Decision-making Whenever an EEA-relevant legal act is amended or a new one adopted by the EU, a corresponding amendment should be made to the relevant Annex of the EEA Agreement. This is essential in maintaining the principle of homogeneity of the EEA. Amendment of the EEA Agreement should ensure that the ensuing text is as close as possible to the adopted legislation on the EU side, with a view to permitting a simultaneous application in the Community and in the EFTA States. The EEA EFTA States can request for consultation on matters of concern. The EEA EFTA States can negotiate adaptations to Community legislation when this is called for by special circumstances and agreed on by both sides. Policy-shaping
