COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2561/1999
of 3 December 1999
laying down the marketing standard for peas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Peas are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as products for which standards are to be adopted. Regulation No 58 of the Commission(3) laying down common quality standards for certain products listed in Annex IB to Regulation No 23, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 888/97(4), has been the subject of multiple amendments and no longer ensures legal clarity.
(2) The rules in question should therefore be recast and Annex I.3 to Regulation No 58 deleted. To that end, for reasons of trnsparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard recommended for peas by the Working Party on standardisation of perishable produce and quality development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(3) The effect of these standards must be to remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, gear production to satisfying consumer requirements and facilitate trade relations on the basis of fair competition, thereby helping to make production more profitable.
(4) The standards are applicable at all stages of marketing. Transport over a great distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling opeations to which the products are subjected may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages which follow dispatch.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh fruit and vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The marketing standards for peas falling within CN code 0708 10 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all stages of marketing under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, the products may show, in relation to the provisions of the standards, a slight lack of freshness and turgitidy, and slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Article 2
Annex I.3 to Regulation No 58 is hereby deleted.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the first day of the first month following the month of its entry into force.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) The two outbreaks reported in Xanthi have been successfully controlled and their epidemiological link to the disease situation in Evros clearly established.
(3) In the light of the disease evolution it appears appropriate to limit the protection measures to the initial areas established by Decision 2000/486/EC.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
