New detailed rules should therefore be adopted for the notification of the prices recorded on the markets for certain fresh fruit and vegetables which, in the interests of clarity, should be separate from the detailed rules on intervention and withdrawals in the fruit and vegetables sector.(2)The prices transmitted to the Commission for each product should be comparable. A reasonably harmonised definition should therefore apply throughout the Community regarding the marketing stage, presentation, quality class and, where applicable, the variety or type. The various representative markets for each product concerned should also be defined. In addition, the Member States should, where appropriate, provide the necessary explanations to the Commission regarding the methods and criteria applied to calculate the prices concerned.(3)In order to ensure rapid circulation of information, electronic means of transmission should be used.(4)In the interests of transparency, the Commission should inform the Member States of the prices recorded throughout the Community and the Community average price.(5)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
