COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2921/86
of 23 September 1986
amending for the second time, for the 1986/87 marketing year Regulation (EEC) No 988/86 applying quality class III to certain fruit
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 1351/86 (2), and in particular Article 4 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 379/71 of 19 February 1971 laying down common quality standards for citrus fruit (3), laid down a class III for the products concerned;
Whereas, pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, the quality class III may be applied only if the products concerned are needed to meet consumer demand; whereas, this need, which has already been recognized for a limited period for lemons of the 'Verdelli' type by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2194/86 (4), also appears to exist at present for certain citrus fruits other than lemons; whereas, in view of the considerable fluctuations in production from one marketing year to another, the period of application of quality class III should be limited;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
