Commission Regulation (EC) No 912/2001
of 10 May 2001
laying down the marketing standard for beans
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), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Beans are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as products for which standards are to be adopted. Regulation No 58 of the Commission laying down common quality standards for certain products listed in Annex I B to Regulation No 23 on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2561/1999(4), has been the subject of multiple amendments and no longer ensures legal clarity.
(2) The rules in question should therefore be recast and Regulation No 58 repealed. To that end, for reasons of transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard for beans recommended by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(3) Applying these standards should result in products of unsatisfactory quality being removed from the market, bringing production into line with consumer requirements and facilitating trade relationships based on fair competition, thereby helping improve the profitability of production.
(4) The standards are applicable at all stages of marketing. Transportation over long distances, storage for a certain length of time or handling operations may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages which follow dispatch. Since products in the "Extra" class must be sorted and packaged with particular care, only lack of freshness and turgidity is to be taken into account in their case.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standards for beans falling within CN code 0708 20 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all stages of marketing under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, the products may show in relation to the provisions of the standard:
- a slight lack of freshness and turgidity, and
- for products graded in classes other than the "Extra" class, slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Regulation No 58 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the first day of the third month following its entry into force.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) As a result of the tenders received, the maximum buying-in price should be fixed as set out below.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
For the 78th invitation to tender issued under Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999, for which tenders had to be submitted not later than 26 August 2003, the maximum buying-in price is fixed at 295,38 EUR/100 kg.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3569/83 of 16 December 1983 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1984 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, duties on the products listed in Annex B originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex C shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 12;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 12, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, 150 % of the highest maximum amount valid for 1980;
Whereas, in the case of chromium oxides and hydroxides falling within heading No 28.21, the reference base is fixed at 151 200 ECU; whereas, on 11 May 1984, imports of these products into the Community originating in China reached the reference base in question after being charged theregainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against China,
As from 18 May 1984, the levying of customs duties, suspended in pursuance of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3569/83, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in China:
1.2 //   //   // CCT heading No  // Description  //   //  // 28.21 (NIMEXE code 28.21-10, 30)  // Chromium oxides and hydroxides  //   //
