THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (2), and in particular of Article 2 (3) thereof,
Whereas Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 899/87 (3) lays down quality standards for strawberries;
Whereas those standards provide for the obligation to comply with a minimum size, specified on the basis of the quality class of the product; whereas, as a result of developments in production techniques, the minimum size laid down for strawberries classified in Classes I and II is no longer in line with production and marketing requirements; whereas, in consequence, the size requirements should be modified and account should be taken of the characteristics of certain varieties;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
