COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 85/2004

of 15 January 2004

laying down the marketing standard for apples

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), and in particular Article 2(2),

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Apples are among the products listed in Annex I to
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for which standards must
be adopted. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1619/2001
of 6 August 2001, laying down the marketing standard
for apples and pears and amending Regulation (EEC) No
920/89 (2), lays down a marketing standard common to
apples and pears.

In the interest of clarity, the Working Party on standardi-
sation of perishable produce and quality development of
the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UN/ECE) decided that the rules on apples should be
separated from those on pears. In addition, it decided to
update
FFV-50 concerning
standard
marketing and commercial quality control of apples with
regards to the provisions concerning quality and sizing.
In the interest of preserving transparency on the world
market, Regulation (EC) No 1619/2001 should be
repealed and two new marketing standards for apples
and pears respectively, should be adopted accordingly.

the UN/ECE

The main maturity criteria laid down by Regulation (EC)
No 1619/2001 is the definition of a minimum size for
apples.
In view of the recent technical developments
concerning methods for measuring firmness and sugar
contents as well as emerging new markets for small-
sized mature apples, the minimum size for apples applic-
able in the Community should be reduced, new maturity
criteria such as sugar content and firmness ensuring that
such a reduction of the minimum size does not imply
fruits insufficiently mature and/or developed are placed
on the market.

(4)

(5)

(6)

(7)

(8)

More work being needed for the precise definition of
these new criteria, taking into account the varietal char-
acteristics as to the size of apples, the implementation of
the reduction of the minimum size should be delayed
until 1 August 2005 and provisional measures
concerning sizing should be laid down until then

Application of
these new standards should remove
products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, bring
production into line with consumer requirements and
thereby
trade based on fair
facilitate
helping to improve profitability.

competition,

The standards are applicable at all marketing stages.
Long-distance transport, storage over a certain period
and the various processes the products undergo may
cause some degree of deterioration owing to the biolo-
gical development of the products or their perishable
nature. Account should be taken of such deterioration
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 freshness and
turgidity is to be taken into account in their case.

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 apples,
ex 0808 10, shall be as set out in the Annex.

ANNEX

STANDARD FOR APPLES

I. DEFINITION OF PRODUCE

This standard applies to apples of varieties (cultivars) grown from Malus domestica Borkh., to be supplied fresh to the
consumer, apples for industrial processing being excluded.

II. PROVISIONS CONCERNING QUALITY

The purpose of the standard is to define the quality requirements of apples, after preparation and packaging.

A. Minimum requirements

In all classes, subject to the special provisions for each class and the tolerances allowed, apples must be:

— intact,

— sound, produce affected by rotting or deterioration such as 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 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) (2),

— to withstand transport and handling, and

— to arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.

B. Classification

Apples are classified in three classes defined below.

(i) ‘Extra’ class

Apples in this class must be of superior quality. In shape, size and colouring, they must be characteristic of
the variety (3) and with the stalk which 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 appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the
package.

(ii) Class I

Apples in this class must be of good quality. In shape, size and colouring, they must be characteristic of the
variety (3).

The flesh must be perfectly sound.

The following slight defects, however, may be allowed 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,

(1) Due to varietal characteristics of the Fuji variety and its mutants concerning maturity at harvest, radial watercore is permitted provided

it is contained within the vascular bundles of each fruit.

(2) To that end, they must show satisfactory soluble solids content and degree of firmness.
(3) The criteria for colouring and russetting are given in the appendix to this standard, as well as a non-exhaustive list of the varieties

concerned by each criteria.

L 13/6

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

20.1.2004

— a slight defect in colouring,

— slight skin defects which must not extend over more than:

— 2 cm in length for defects of elongated shape,

— 1 cm2 of total surface area for other defects, with the exception of scab (Venturia inaequalis), which

must not extend over more than 0,25 cm2 of total surface area,

— slight bruising not exceeding 1 cm2 of total surface area and not discoloured.

The stalk may be missing, provided the break is clean and the adjacent skin is not damaged.

(iii) Class II

This class includes apples which do not qualify for inclusion 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 length for defects of elongated shape,

— 2,5 cm2 of total surface area for other defects, with the exception of scab (Venturia inaequalis), which

must not extend over more than 1 cm2 of total surface area,

— slight bruising not exceeding 1,5 cm2 of total surface area which may be slightly discoloured.

III. PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZING

Size is determined either by maximum diameter of the equatorial section or by weight.

When size is determined by diameter, the minimum diameter required for each class is as follows:

Large fruited varieties (1)

Other varieties

Extra

65 mm

60 mm

Class I

60 mm

55 mm

(1) The non-exhaustive list of large fruited varieties is given in the appendix to this standard.

When size is determined by weight, the minimum weight required for each class is as follows:

Large fruited varieties (1)

Other varieties

Extra

110 g

90 g

Class I

90 g

80 g

(1) The non-exhaustive list of large fruited varieties is given in the appendix to this standard.

Class II

60 mm

50 mm

Class II

90 g

70 g

To ensure there is uniformity of size within a package:

— for fruit sized according to diameter, the difference in diameter between fruit in the same package shall be

limited to:

— 5 mm for ‘Extra’ class fruit and for Class I and II fruit packed in rows and layers (2),

— 10 mm for Class I fruit packed loose in the package or sales package (3);

(1) The criteria for colouring and russetting are given in the appendix to this standard, as well as a non-exhaustive list of the varieties

concerned by each criteria.

(2) However, for apples of the varieties Bramley's Seedling (Bramley, Triomphe de Kiel) and Horneburger, the difference in diameter may

amount to 10 mm.

(3) However, for apples of the varieties Bramley's Seedling (Bramley, Triomphe de Kiel) and Horneburger, the difference in diameter may

amount to 20 mm.

20.1.2004

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 13/7

— for fruit sized according to weight, the difference in weight between fruit in the same package shall be limited

to:
— 20 % of the average individual fruit weight in the package for ‘Extra’ class fruit and for Class I and II fruit

packed in rows and layers,

— 25 % of the average individual fruit weight in the package for Class I fruit packed loose in the package or

sales package.

There is no sizing uniformity limit for Class II fruit packed loose in the package or sales package.

IV. PROVISIONS CONCERNING TOLERANCES

Tolerances in respect of quality and size shall be allowed in each package for produce not satisfying the require-
ments of the class indicated.

A. Quality tolerances

(i) ‘Extra’ class

5 % by number or weight of apples not satisfying the requirements of the class, but meeting those of Class I
or, exceptionally, coming within the tolerances of that class.

(ii) Class I

10 % by number or weight of apples not satisfying the requirements of the class, but meeting those of Class
II, or exceptionally, coming within the tolerances of that class.

(iii) Class II

10 % by number or weight of apples satisfying neither the requirements of the class nor the minimum
requirements, with the exception of produce affected by rotting or any other deterioration rendering it unfit
for consumption.

Within this tolerance, a maximum of 2 % number or weight of fruit is allowed which shows the following
defects:

— serious attacks of cork (bitter pit) or water-core,

— slight damage or unhealed cracks,

— very slight traces of rot,

— presence of internal feeding pests and/or damage to the flesh caused by pests.

B. Size tolerances

For all classes:

10 % by number or weight of fruit not corresponding to the size immediately above or below that marked on
the package, with, for fruit classified in the smallest grade allowed a maximum variation of:
— 5 mm below the minimum diameter when size is determined by diameter,
— 10 g below the minimum weight when size is determined by weight.

V. PROVISIONS CONCERNING PRESENTATION

A. Uniformity

The contents of each package must be uniform and contain only apples of the same origin, variety, quality and
size (if sized) and the same degree of ripeness.

In the case of the ‘Extra’ class, uniformity also applies to colouring.

Sales packages of a net weight not exceeding 5 kg may contain mixtures of apples of different varieties, provided
they are uniform in quality and, for each variety concerned, in origin, size (if sized) and degree of ripeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions in this point, products covered by this Regulation may be mixed, in
sales packages of a net weight of three kilograms or less, with different types of fresh fruit and vegetables on the
conditions laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 48/2003 (1).

The visible part of the contents of the package must be representative of the entire contents.

(1) OJ L 7, 11.1.2003, p. 65.

L 13/8

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

20.1.2004

B. Packaging

The apples must be packed in such a way as to protect the produce properly. In particular, sales packages of a
net weight exceeding 3 kg shall be sufficiently rigid to ensure proper protection of the produce.

The materials used inside the package must be new, clean and of a quality such as to avoid causing any external
or internal damage to the produce. The use of materials, particularly of paper or stamps bearing trade specifica-
tions is allowed provided the printing or labelling has been done with non-toxic ink or glue.

Packages must be free of all foreign matter.

C. Presentation

For ‘Extra’ class, fruit must be packed in layers.

VI. PROVISIONS CONCERNING MARKING

Each package must bear the following particulars, in letters grouped on the same side, legibly and indelibly marked,
and visible from the outside.

A. Identification

Packer and/or dispatcher, name and address or officially issued or accepted code mark. However, in the case
where a code mark is used, the reference ‘packer and/or dispatcher (or equivalent abbreviations)’ has to be indi-
cated in close connection with the code mark.

B. Nature of produce

— ‘Apples’ if the contents are not visible from the outside

— Name of the variety or varieties where appropriate.

— In the case of sales packages containing a mixture of apples of different varieties, names of each of the

different varieties in the package.

C. Origin of produce

Country of origin and, optionally, district where grown, or national, regional or local place name

— In the case of sales packages containing a mixture of varieties of apples of different origins, the indication of

each country of origin shall appear next to the name of the variety concerned.

D. Commercial specifications

— Class

— Size or, for fruit packed in layers, number of units.

If identification is by the size, this should be expressed:

(a) for produce subject to the uniformity rules, as minimum and maximum diameters or minimum and

maximum weight;

(b) for produce not subject to the uniformity rules, the diameter or the weight of the smallest fruit in the
package followed by ‘and over’ or ‘+’ or equivalent denomination or, where applicable, followed by the
diameter or weight of the largest fruit.

E. Official control mark (optional)
