This shall be construed as a binding provision for the Secretary of State to consider the certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 48 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, except in the case where alternative dates are specified in Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, which should then be taken instead.",
