peppers has increased steadily as shown by the following statistics :

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 quality standards 5
Whereas sweet peppers are the subject of large–scale trade in some producer
 Member States and substantial trade on a Community level j
 Whereas therefore it is necessary to apply to this proauct all the provisions
 of Regulation (SEC) No 1035/72 and in particular to lay down common quality
 standards 3 whereas to this end the said product should be added to the list
 in Annex I of Regulation (EEC ) No 1035/72 ?
