  Council Regulation (ZEC ) No 1035/ 72 of IG Kay 1972 on the common
  organization of the market in fruit and vegetables provides for
  the application to certain fruit and vegetables of quality standards
  designed to keep products of unsatisfactory quality off the n.arket ,
  to align production on consumer demand and make for fair competition
  in trade , thus serving to improve the profitability of production .
  At present , about thirty major products are subject to quality standards .
  No Community standards have so far been introduced for leeks , despite the
  fact that fairly large quantities are produced and trade is significant ,
  at any rate within the Community .
  In view of these factors , and the experience acquired as regards standards
. for other products , the Commission considers it should propose that
  leeks be included on the list of products subject to quality standards .

                         Having regard to the Opinion of the European
                          Parliament ;
Whereas Regulation (EEC ) No 1035/72 provides that quality standards may be
fixed for products to be delivered fresh to the consumer and Annex I
thereto lists the products subject to such quality standards ;
Whereas leeks are the subject of large-scale trade in some producer
Member States and of substantial trade on a Community level ;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to apply to this product all the
 provisions of Regulation (EEC ) N o 1035/72 and in particular to lay
down common quality standards ! whereas to this end the said product
 should be added to the list in Annex I to that Regulation ;
