The "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" is not a law about beef labelling procedures, but about whom the monitoring of the labeling of beef is assigned to. It's not that simple. :-)

Edit: Bonus exercise: What about "Grundstücks­verkehrs­genehmigungs­zuständigkeits­übertragungs­verordnung"? I'm ducking away ;-)
