COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1238/2005

of 28 July 2005

amending Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 laying down the marketing standard for apples

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

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) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 (2) provides,
inter alia,
for a reduction in the minimum size from
to the size laid down in
1 August 2005 identical
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UN/ECE) standard FFV-50.

The inclusion of a ripeness criterion based on sugar
content in UN/ECE standard FFV-50 has been proposed
in the UN/ECE working party on agricultural quality
standards.

As the minimum size is also a ripeness criterion, the
incorporating these two ripeness criteria
possibility of
to the greatest extent possible into the marketing
standard for apples should be studied.

Since this study must be conducted over at least three
marketing years, application of the size reduction should
be postponed to 1 June 2008 and the transitional
provisions on sizing extended to 31 May 2008.

Steps should be taken however to protect the legitimate
expectations of operators who have concluded contracts
on the basis of the presumption of the application from
1 August 2005 of new standards providing for a
reduction in size.

(6)

(7)

(8)

(9)

For the sake of clarity, it should be laid down that when
a trade name is used to sell a product, the name of the
variety or its synonym should also be mentioned.

A number of errors have arisen in the list of varieties in
the Annex to the marketing standard.

Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

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:

3. The Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this

States’ authorities, concluded before 1 August 2005 contracts
