Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, in Annex I, lists the products for which standards must be adopted; whereas, of the products listed in that Annex, no Community standards have yet been laid down for melons and watermelons; whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down marketing standards for those products; whereas, to that end, for the sake of transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standards recommended for those products by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe;
Whereas application of those standards should have the effect of keeping products of unsatisfactory quality off the market, directing production to meet consumers' requirements and facilitating trade under fair competitive conditions, thereby helping to improve the profitability of production;
Whereas those standards are applicable to all marketing stages; whereas transport over large distances, storage for more than a certain duration and the amount of handling to which products are subject can result in some degree of deterioration owing to the biological development of the product or its perishable nature; whereas such deterioration should be taken into account in the application of the standards to the marketing stages following consignment;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The marketing standards applicable to:
- melons falling within CN code 0807 19 00,
- watermelons falling within CN code 0807 11 00,
shall be as set out in Annexes I and II respectively.
2. The standards shall apply to all marketing stages under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following consignment the following tolerances shall be allowed:
(a) a slight loss of freshness and turgidity;
(b) for products other than the 'Extra` class, slight deterioration due to biological development and perishability.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1997.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2638/87 (3) and (EEC) No 2755/87 (4) fix provisionally the amounts of the aid for soya beans subject to confirmation of the amount to be deducted pursuant to the maximum guaranteed quantities system;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2868/87 (5) fixes the amount of the reduction in the aid for soya beans for the 1987/88 marketing year; whereas the provisional amounts of the aid in question were calculated taking account of a reduction equal to that fixed; whereas, consequently, the amounts of the aid valid provisionally for the beans in question should be confirmed and they should be fixed definitively,
The aid for soya beans in the Annexes to Regulations (EEC) No 2638/87 and (EEC) No 2755/87 shall be fixed definitively from the date of entry into force of each of the Regulations concerned.
