           Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the
               common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables as regards quality standards
                                                    COM(90) 428 final
                                   (Submitted by the Commission on 28 September 1990)
                                                      (90/C 255/03)
           THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
           Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
           particular Article 43 thereof,
           Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
           Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
           Whereas Article 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (*), as last amended by Regu-
           lation (EEC) No 1193/90 (2), lays down rules regarding the labelling of fruit and vegetables
           subject to common quality standards and put up for sale at the retail stage; whereas recent
           developments in the fruit and vegetable trade have led to an increase in the quantities of
           pre-packaged products; whereas, to ensure that consumers are given sufficient information and
           that the rules are harmonized with Council Directive 79/112/EEC (3), as last amended by
           Directive 89/395/EEC (4), provision should be made for the net weight to be indicated on
           products presented in this way,
           HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                                         Article 1
           The following is inserted as the second subparagraph of Article 7 of Regulation (EEC)
           N o 1035/72:
                'For pre-packaged products within the meaning of Directive 79/112/EEC, in addition to
                all the information provided for in the common quality standards, the net weight must be
                indicated.'
                                                         Article 2
           This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the
           Official Journal of the European Communities.
           This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
