These Regulations amend the Food (Peanuts from China) (Emergency Control) (Wales) (No.2) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2295(W.224)) (regulation 2). The amendment is that the definition of “the Commission Decision” in regulation 2(1) is updated to reflect a further amendment to it, effected by Commission Decision 2003/550/EC (OJ No. L187, 22.7.2003, p.39).

S.I. 2002/2295 (W.224) implements Commission Decision 2002/79/EC imposing special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from China (OJ No. L34, 5.2.2002, p. 26) as amended by Commission Decision 2002/233/EC (OJ No. L78, 21.3.2002, p. 14) and Commission Decision 2002/678/EC (OJ No. L229, 27.8.2002, p. 33). The effect of the amendment made by these Regulations is that S.I. 2002/2295 (W.224) now implements Commission Decision 2002/79/EC as now also amended by Commission Decision 2003/550/EC. The categories of products which are subject to the special import conditions referred to above are specified in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2002/79/EC as so amended.
