COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 379/2005
of 4 March 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 1168/1999 laying down marketing standards for plums
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 537/2004 of 23 March 2004 adapting several regulations concerning the market of fresh fruit and vegetables by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union (2) added several varieties to the non-exhaustive list of large-fruited varieties of Prunus domestica by replacing the Appendix to the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1168/1999 (3). However, the new Appendix does not contain the non-exhaustive list of large-fruited varieties of Prunus salicina it included before the amendment, following the recommendation of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe to distinguish between varieties of Prunus domestica and those of Prunus salicina. In the interest of transparency on the world market, that list should be re-established.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 1168/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Appendix to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1168/1999 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 4 March 2005.
