COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 228/2006
of 9 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 laying down quality standards for bananas

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 (2) lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EC) No 404/93 as regards the quality standards for bananas.
(2) Recent research on banana varieties has led to the development of several hybrids. This is the case of the variety Flhorban 920, a triploide hybrid, Musa balbisiana X Musa acuminata, which belongs to the group AAA. This variety was granted Community protection by Decision No 13757 of the Community Plant Variety Office of 19 July 2004. Hybrids should therefore be covered by Regulation (EC) No 2257/94.
(3) Due to the specific climatic conditions of those regions, Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 allows bananas produced in Madeira, the Azores, the Algarve, Crete and Laconia to be marketed in the Community when classified in Class II even if they do not fulfil the requirement of attaining at least 14 cm in length. It is appropriate to provide for the same derogation for bananas produced in Cyprus, where the climatic conditions are similar.
(4) In view of the demands of the Community market and taking into account the Codex Alimentarius Standard for bananas (Codex Stan 205-1997), provision should be made in order to allow the commercialisation of bananas presented as single fingers.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 is amended as follows:
1. Annex I is amended as follows:
(a) Point I is replaced by the following:
(b) In point III the fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:
(c) In point V, point C, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
2. In Annex II, Group AAA, the following row is inserted after the sub-group Gros Michel:

Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (1) provides for the substitution of the euro for the currencies of the Member States which fulfilled the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro at the time when the Community entered the third stage of economic and monetary union.

(10) The introduction of the euro in Estonia requires the extension to Estonia of the existing provisions on the introduction of the euro set out in Regulation (EC) No 974/98.
