COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2763/84
of 28 September 1984
increasing for part of the 1984/85 marketing year the minimum size of apples allowed to be marketed
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 1332/84 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (3) and 5 (3) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, quality standards are to apply to products listed in Annex I thereto to be delivered fresh to the consumer; whereas the said quality standards are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1641/71 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2162/84 (4);
Whereas apple production is in substantial surplus; whereas the quantities which may be marketed within the Community and in non-member countries should be restricted to those products which are most likely to find a normal market, and storage of products which do not fully meet the requirements of consumers should be avoided;
Whereas, to this end, it is appropriate not to market smaller-sized apples as from 1 January 1985; whereas, therefore, a derogation should be made to the quality standards;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
