Commission Regulation (EC) No 2561/1999of 3 December 1999laying down the marketing standard for peas 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 vegetablesOJ L 297, 21.11.1996, p. 1., as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 80., and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,Whereas:(1)Peas 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 CommissionOJ 56, 7.7.1962, p. 1606/62. laying down common quality standards for certain products listed in Annex IB to Regulation No 23, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 888/97OJ L 126, 17.5.1997, p. 11., has been the subject of multiple amendments and no longer ensures legal clarity.(2)The rules in question should therefore be recast and Annex I.3 to Regulation No 58 deleted. To that end, for reasons of trnsparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard recommended for peas by the Working Party on standardisation of perishable produce and quality development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).(3)The effect of these standards must be to remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, gear production to satisfying consumer requirements and facilitate trade relations on the basis of fair competition, thereby helping to make production more profitable.(4)The standards are applicable at all stages of marketing. Transport over a great distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling opeations to which the products are subjected 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.(5)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:
