*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 540/85  of 28 February 1985  amending for the sixth time Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77 fixing the list of the various groups of hop varieties cultivated in the Community  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece (2), and in particular Article 12 (8) thereof,  Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 573/81 (4), divides these varieties into the groups 'aromatic hops', 'bitter hops' and 'others' according to commercial practice in the Community and world hop markets on the basis of the final uses of the hops in brewing and by reference to common characteristics, with particular emphasis on the content of bitter and aromatic substances;  Whereas examination of the variety 'Yeoman' hitherto classified in the third group 'others' and the use to which it is put in brewing has shown that this variety has a predominant bitter characteristic; whereas the said variety should accordingly be transferred into the second group 'bitter hops';  Whereas two new varieties by the name of 'Omega' and 'Orion' have appeared on the Community market; whereas the knowledge at present available of their characteristics and of their use in brewing indicates that they should be classified in the third group 'others';  Whereas it is appropriate that this Regulation be applied to the varieties produced in the 1984 harvest;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77 is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.  Article 2  This Regulation shall apply to the varieties produced in the 1984 and subsequent harvests.  This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
