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 vegeta-bles(
1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/
2001(2), and in particular Article 2(2),
Whereas:
(1)Apples and pears are among the products listed in Annex I to
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for which standards must be
adopted. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 of 10 April1989 laying down quality standards for carrots, citrus fruit anddessert apples and pears and amending Commission RegulationNo 58(
3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 730/1999(4),
has been amended and can no longer ensure legal clarity.
(2)In the interest of clarity, the rules on apples and pears should be
separated from those on other products under Regulation (EEC)No 920/89. The rules in question should therefore be recast andAnnex III to Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 should be repealed.
To that end, and in the interest of preserving transparency on
the world market, account should be taken of the standard forapples and pears recommended by the Working Party on Stan-dardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development ofthe United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(3)Application of these standards should remove products of unsa-tisfactory quality from the market, bring production into linewithconsumer requirements and facilitate trade based on faircompetition, thereby helping to improve profitability.
(4)The standards are applicable at all marketing stages. Long-distance transport, storage over a certain period and the variousprocesses the products undergo may cause some degree of dete-rioration owing to the biological development of the products ortheir perishable nature. Account should be taken of such dete-rioration when applying the standard at the marketing stages
following dispatch. As products in the ‘Extra’ class have to be
particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshnessand turgidity is to be taken into account in their case.
(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 standard for the following products shall be as set out in
the Annex:
— apples, falling within CN code ex 0808 10,
— pears, falling within CN code ex 0808 20.2001R1619 — EN — 31.01.2003 — 001.001 — 2

(2) OJ L 129, 11.5.2001, p. 3.
(3) OJ L 97, 11.4.1989, p. 19.
(4) OJ L 93, 8.4.1999, p. 14.
▼B
The standard shall apply at all marketing stages under the conditions
laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, products may show in relation
to the requirements of the standard:
— a slight lack of freshness and turgidity,
— for products graded in classes other than the ‘Extra’ class, slight
deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Article 2
Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 is amended as follows:1. In Article 1(1), the third indent is deleted.
2. Annex III is deleted.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities .
It shall apply from the first day of the second month following its entry
into force.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable
in all Member States.2001R1619 — EN — 31.01.2003 — 001.001 — 3

ANNEX
STANDARDFORAPPLESANDPEARS
I. DEFINITION OF PRODUCE
This standard applies to apples and pears of varieties (cultivars) grown from
Malus domestica Borkh . andPyrus communis L., to be supplied freshto th e
consumer, apples and pears for industrial processing being excluded.
II. PROVISIONS CONCERNING QUALITY
The purpose of the standard is to define the quality requirements of apples
and pears, after preparation and packaging.
A.Minimumrequirements
In all classes, subject to the special provisions for each class and the
tolerances allowed, apples and pears must be:
— intact,
— sound; produce affected by rotting or deterioration suchas to make
it unfit for consumption is excluded,
— clean, practically free of any visible foreign matter,
— practically free from pests,— practically free from damage caused by pests,— free of abnormal external moisture,
— free of any foreign smell and/or taste.
In addition, they must have been carefully picked.
The development and condition of the apples and pears must be such as
to enable them:
— to continue their maturing process and to reach the degree of
maturity required in relation to the varietal characteristics(
1),
— to withstand transport and handling, and— to arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.
B.Classification
Apples and pears are classified in three classes defined below.
(i)‘Extra’ Class
Apples and pears in this class must be of superior quality. In shape,
size and colouring, they must be characteristic of the variety(
2) and
the stalk must be intact.
The flesh must be perfectly sound.
They must be free from defects with the exception of very slight
superficial defects provided these do not affect the general appear-
ance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and
presentation in the package.
Pears must not be gritty.
(ii)Class I
Apples and pears in this class must be of good quality. In shape,
size and colouring, they must be characteristic of the variety (2).
The flesh must be perfectly sound.
The following slight defects, however, may be allowed on indivi-
dual fruit provided these do not affect the general appearance of
the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in
the package:
— a slight defect in shape,
— a slight defect in development,2001R1619 — EN — 31.01.2003 — 001.001 — 4
(1) Due to varietal characteristics of the Fuji variety concerning maturity at harvest, radial
watercore is permitted provided it is contained within the vascular bundles of eachfruit.
(
2) The criteria for colouring and russetting of apples are given in the appendix of this
standard, as well as a non-exhaustive list of the varieties concerned by each criteria.
▼B
— a slight defect in colouring,
— slight skin defects which must not extend over more than:
— 2 cm in lengthfor defects of elongated sh ape,
—1c m2of total surface area for other defects, with the excep-
tion of scab ( Venturia inaequalis ), which must not extend
over more than 0,25 cm2cumulative in area,
— slight bruising not exceeding 1 cm2of total surface area and
not discoloured.
For apples, the stalk may be missing, provided the break is clean
and the adjacent skin is not damaged. For pears, the stalk may be
slightly damaged.
Pears must not be gritty.
(iii)Class II
This class includes apples and pears which do not qualify for inclu-
sion in the higher classes but satisfy the minimum requirements
specified above(1).
The flesh must be free from major defects.
The following defects are allowed provided the fruit retains its
essential characteristics as regards the quality, the keeping quality
and presentation:
— defects in shape,
— defects in development,
— defects in colouring,
— skin defects which must not extend over more than:
— 4 cm in lengthfor defects of elongated sh ape,
— 2,5 cm2of total surface area for other defects, including
slightly discoloured bruising, with the exception of scab
(Venturia inaequalis ), which must not extend over more
than 1 cm2cumulative in area.
III. PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZING
Size is determined by maximum diameter of the equatorial section or by
weight. However, when sizing by weight, the minimum weight must ensure
all fruit, as appropriate, meet the minimum diameter sizes listed below.
A minimum size by diameter is required for all classes as follows:
(mm)
