THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

(3) Furthermore, the addresses of the European Union and the Swiss contact points in Annex II, the list of Member States’ competent authorities in Annex III, and the list of diamond organisations in Annex V should be updated.

(4) Annexes II, III, IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 should be amended accordingly.
