      "text": "S.I. 2011/2379 (W. 252). Paragraph 11A was inserted into Schedule 2 by regulation 2(2) of the Official Controls (Animals, Feed and Food, Plant Health Fees etc.) (Wales) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1639) (W. 344) and enables the Welsh Ministers to amend, modify or revoke any assimilated direct minor legislation made under Article 8(4) of Council Directive 2002/99/EC laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (OJ No L 18, 23.1.2003, p. 11) (“the 2002 Directive”). S.I. 2021/1 (W. 1), which is amended by regulation 3 of this instrument, modifies Commission Decision 2000/572/EC laying down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of minced meat and meat preparations from third countries (EUDN 2000/572). Commission Decision 2000/572/EC (OJ No L 240, 23.9.2000, p. 19) was adopted under Council Directive 94/65/EC laying down the requirements for the production and placing on the market of minced meat and meat preparations (OJ No L 368, 31.12.1994, p. 10) (“the 1994 Directive”), but is to be construed as being made under the 2002 Directive by virtue of provision in Directive 2004/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ No L 157, 30.4.2004, p. 33) (“the 2004 Directive”). The 2004 Directive, which repealed the 1994 Directive, provided in Article 4 that references to certain Directives, including the 1994 Directive, should be construed as being made, as the context demands, to the 2002 Directive; accordingly, that rule of construction has the effect that the power in paragraph 11A of Schedule 2 to S.I. 2011/2379 (W. 252) to modify retained direct minor EU legislation made under Article 8(4) of the 2002 Directive extends to the modification of Commission Decision 2000/572/EC."
