COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 349/88
of 5 February 1988
derogating from the quality standards for cucumbers for the 1988 marketing year
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 223/88 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 2 (2) thereof,
Whereas the quality standards for cucumbers were laid down in Annex I/2 to Council Regulation No 183/64/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 845/76 (4); whereas class III cucumbers were defined in Annex VII to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1194/69 (5); whereas these standards do not permit the marketing of certain sizes for which demand exists;
Whereas the quality standards should take this fact into account; whereas sufficient experience should, however, be gained before the standards are definitively changed; whereas, therefore, again temporary derogations from the quality standards for cucumbers should be introduced;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
