ANNEX IMARKETING STANDARDS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 3PART AGeneral marketing standardThe purpose of this general marketing standard is to define the quality requirements for fruit and vegetables, after preparation and packaging.However, at stages following dispatch products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard:a slight lack of freshness and turgidity,a slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.1.Minimum requirementsSubject to the tolerances allowed, the products shall be:intact,sound; products affected by rotting or deterioration such as to make them unfit for consumption are excluded,clean, practically free of any visible foreign matter,practically free from pests,free from damage caused by pests affecting the flesh,free of abnormal external moisture,free of any foreign smell and/or taste.The condition of the products must be such as to enable them:to withstand transportation and handling,to arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.2.Minimum maturity requirementsThe products must be sufficiently developed, but not overdeveloped, and fruit must display satisfactory ripeness and must not be overripe.The development and state of maturity of the products must be such as to enable them to continue their ripening process and to reach a satisfactory degree of ripeness.3.ToleranceA tolerance of 10 % by number or weight of product not satisfying the minimum quality requirements shall be permitted in each lot. Within this tolerance not more than 2 per cent in total may consist of produce affected by decay.4.MarkingEach packageThese marking provisions do not apply to sales packages presented in packages. However, they do apply to sales packages presented separately. must bear the following particulars, in letters grouped on the same side, legibly and indelibly marked, and visible from the outside.A.IdentificationName and physical address of the packer and/or the dispatcher (for example: street/city/region/postal code and, if different from the country of origin, the country).This mention may be replaced:for all packages with the exception of pre-packages, by the officially issued or accepted code mark representing the packer and/or the dispatcher, indicated in close connection with the reference "Packer and/or Dispatcher" (or equivalent abbreviations). The code mark shall be preceded by the ISO 3166 (alpha) country/area code of the recognising country, if not the country of origin;for pre-packages only, by the name and the address of a seller established within the Union indicated in close connection with the mention "Packed for:" or an equivalent mention. In this case, the labelling shall also include a code representing the packer and/or the dispatcher. The seller shall give all information deemed necessary by the inspection body as to the meaning of this code.B.OriginFull name of the country of originThe full or commonly used name shall be indicated.. For products originating in a Member State this shall be in the language of the country of origin or any other language understandable by the consumers of the country of destination. For other products, this shall be in any language understandable by the consumers of the country of destination.Packages need not to bear the particulars mentioned in the first subparagraph, when they contain sales packages, clearly visible from the outside, and all bearing these particulars. These packages shall be free from any indications such as could mislead. When these packages are palletised, the particulars shall be given on a notice placed in an obvious position on at least two sides of the pallet.PART BSpecific marketing standardsPART 1: MARKETING STANDARD FOR APPLESI.DEFINITION OF PRODUCEThis standard applies to apples of varieties (cultivars) grown from Malus domestica Borkh., to be supplied fresh to the consumer, apples for industrial processing being excluded.II.PROVISIONS CONCERNING QUALITYThe purpose of the standard is to define the quality requirements for apples, after preparation and packaging.However, at stages following dispatch products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard:a slight lack of freshness and turgidity,for products graded in classes other than the "Extra" Class, a slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.A.Minimum requirementsIn all classes, subject to the special provisions for each class and the tolerances allowed, apples must be:intact,sound; produce affected by rotting or deterioration such as to make it unfit for consumption is excluded,clean, practically free of any visible foreign matter,practically free from pests,free from damage caused by pests affecting the flesh,free from serious watercore, except for varieties marked with "V" listed in the appendix to this standard,free of abnormal external moisture,free of any foreign smell and/or taste.The development and condition of the apples must be such as to enable them:to withstand transportation and handling, andto arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.B.Maturity requirementsThe apples must be sufficiently developed, and display satisfactory ripeness.The development and state of maturity of the apples must be such as to enable them to continue their ripening process and to reach the degree of ripeness required in relation to the varietal characteristics.In order to verify the minimum maturity requirements, several parameters may be considered (for example morphological aspect, taste, firmness and refractometric index).C.ClassificationApples are classified in three classes defined below.(i)"Extra" ClassApples in this class must be of superior quality. They must be characteristic of the varietyA non-exhaustive list of varieties providing a classification on colouring and russeting is set out in theappendix to this standard. and with the stalk which must be intact.Apples must express the following minimum surface colour characteristic of the variety:3/4 of total surface red coloured in case of colour group A,1/2 of total surface mixed red coloured in case of colour group B,1/3 of total surface slightly red coloured, blushed or striped in case of colour group C,no minimum colour requirement in case of colour group D.The flesh must be perfectly sound.They must be free from defects with the exception of very slight superficial defects provided these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the package:very slight skin defects,very slight russetingVarieties marked with "R" in the appendix to this standard are exempt from the provisions on russeting. such as:brown patches that may not go outside the stem cavity and may not be rough and/orslight isolated traces of russeting.(ii)Class IApples in this class must be of good quality. They must be characteristic of the varietyA non-exhaustive list of varieties providing a classification on colouring and russeting is set out in theappendix to this standard..Apples must express the following minimum surface colour characteristic of the variety:1/2 of total surface red coloured in case of colour group A,1/3 of total surface mixed red coloured in case of colour group B,1/10 of total surface slightly red coloured, blushed or striped in case of colour group C,no minimum colour requirement in case of colour group D.The flesh must be perfectly sound.The following slight defects, however, may be allowed, provided these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the package:a slight defect in shape,a slight defect in development,a slight defect in colouring,slight bruising not exceeding 1 cm2 of total surface area and not discoloured,slight skin defects which must not extend over more than:2 cm in length for defects of elongated shape,1 cm2 of total surface area for other defects, with the exception of scab (Venturia inaequalis), which must not extend over more than 0,25 cm2 , cumulative, in area,slight russetingVarieties marked with "R" in the appendix to this standard are exempt from the provisions on russeting. such as:brown patches that may go slightly beyond the stem or pistil cavities but may not be rough and/orthin net-like russeting not exceeding 1/5 of the total fruit surface and not contrasting strongly with the general colouring of the fruit and/ordense russeting not exceeding 1/20 of the total fruit surface, whilethin net-like russeting and dense russeting taken together may not exceed a maximum of 1/5 of the total surface of the fruit.The stalk may be missing, provided the break is clean and the adjacent skin is not damaged.(iii)Class IIThis class includes apples which do not qualify for inclusion in the higher classes but satisfy the minimum requirements specified above.The flesh must be free from major defects.The following defects may be allowed, provided the apples retain their essential characteristics as regards the quality, the keeping quality and presentation:defects in shape,defects in development,defects in colouring,slight bruising not exceeding 1,5 cm2 in area which may be slightly discoloured,skin defects which must not extend over more than:4 cm in length for defects of elongated shape,2,5 cm2 of total surface area for other defects, with the exception of scab (Venturia inaequalis), which must not extend over more than 1 cm2 , cumulative, in area;slight russetingVarieties marked with "R" in the appendix to this standard are exempt from the provisions on russeting. such asbrown patches that may go beyond the stem or pistil cavities and may be slightly rough and/orthin net-like russeting not exceeding 1/2 of the total fruit surface and not contrasting strongly with the general colouring of the fruit and/ordense russeting not exceeding 1/3 of the total fruit surface, whilethin net-like russeting and dense russeting taken together may not exceed a maximum of 1/2 of the total surface of the fruit.III.PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZINGSize is determined either by the maximum diameter of the equatorial section or by weight.The minimum size shall be 60 mm, if measured by diameter or 90 g, if measured by weight. Fruit of smaller sizes may be accepted, if the Brix levelCalculated as described in the OECD guidance on objective tests, available at: http://www.oecd.org/agriculture/fruit-vegetables/publications of the produce is equal to or greater than to 10,5° Brix and the size is not smaller than 50 mm or 70 g.To ensure the uniformity in size, the range in size between produce in the same package shall not exceed:(a)for fruit sized by diameter:5 mm for the "Extra" Class fruit and for Classes I and II fruit packed in rows and layers. However, for apples of the varieties Bramley's Seedling (Bramley, Triomphe de Kiel) and Horneburger, the difference in diameter may amount to 10 mm, and10 mm for Class I fruit packed in sales packages or loose in the package. However, for apples of the varieties Bramley's Seedling (Bramley, Triomphe de Kiel) and Horneburger, the difference in diameter may amount to 20 mm.(b)for fruit sized by weight:For the "Extra" Class and Classes I and II apples packed in rows and layers:

Range (g)	Weight difference (g)
70-90	15 g
91-135	20 g
136-200	30 g
201-300	40 g
> 300	50 g

For Class I fruit packed in sales packages or loose in the package:

Range (g)	Uniformity (g)
70-135	35
136-300	70
> 300	100

There is no sizing uniformity requirement for Class II fruit packed in sales packages or loose in the package.Varieties of miniature apples, marked with an "M" in the appendix to this standard, are exempted from the sizing provisions. Those miniature varieties must have a minimum Brix levelCalculated as described in the OECD guidance on objective tests, available at: http://www.oecd.org/agriculture/fruit-vegetables/publications of 12°.IV.PROVISIONS CONCERNING TOLERANCESAt all marketing stages, tolerances in respect of quality and size shall be allowed in each lot for produce not satisfying the requirements of the class indicated.A.Quality tolerances(i)"Extra" ClassA total tolerance of 5 per cent, by number or weight, of apples not satisfying the requirements of the class, but meeting those of Class I is allowed. Within this tolerance not more than 0,5 per cent in total may consist of produce satisfying the requirements of Class II quality.(ii)Class IA total tolerance of 10 per cent, by number or weight, of apples not satisfying the requirements of the class, but meeting those of Class II is allowed. Within this tolerance not more than 1 per cent in total may consist of produce satisfying neither the requirements of Class II quality nor the minimum requirements, or of produce affected by decay.(iii)Class IIA total tolerance of 10 per cent, by number or weight, of apples satisfying neither the requirements of the class nor the minimum requirements is allowed. Within this tolerance not more than 2 per cent in total may consist of produce affected by decay.B.Size tolerancesFor all classes: a total tolerance of 10 per cent, by number or weight, of apples not satisfying the requirements as regards sizing is allowed. This tolerance may not be extended to include produce with a size:5 mm or more below the minimum diameter,10 g or more below the minimum weight.V.PROVISIONS CONCERNING PRESENTATIONA.UniformityThe contents of each package must be uniform and contain only apples of the same origin, variety, quality and size (if sized) and the same degree of ripeness.In the case of the "Extra" Class, uniformity also applies to colouring.However, a mixture of apples of distinctly different varieties may be packed together in a sales package provided they are uniform in quality and, for each variety concerned, in origin. Uniformity in size is not required.The visible part of the contents of the package must be representative of the entire contents.B.PackagingThe apples must be packed in such a way as to protect the produce properly. In particular, sales packages of a net weight exceeding 3 kg shall be sufficiently rigid to ensure proper protection of the produce.The materials used inside the package must be clean and of a quality such as to avoid causing any external or internal damage to the produce. The use of materials, particularly of paper or stamps bearing trade specifications is allowed, provided the printing or labelling has been done with non-toxic ink or glue.Stickers individually affixed on the produce shall be such that, when removed, they neither leave visible traces of glue, nor lead to skin defects. Information lasered on single fruit should not lead to flesh or skin defects.Packages must be free of all foreign matter.VI.PROVISIONS CONCERNING MARKINGEach packageThese marking provisions do not apply to sales packages presented in packages. However, they do apply to sales packages presented separately. must bear the following particulars, in letters grouped on the same side, legibly and indelibly marked, and visible from the outside.A.IdentificationName and physical address of the packer and/or the dispatcher (for example street/city/region/postal code and, if different from the country of origin, the country).This mention may be replaced:for all packages with the exception of pre-packages, by the officially issued or accepted code mark representing the packer and/or the dispatcher, indicated in close connection with the reference "Packer and/or Dispatcher" (or equivalent abbreviations). The code mark shall be preceded by the ISO 3166 (alpha) country/area code of the recognising country, if not the country of origin;for pre-packages only, by the name and the address of a seller established within the Union indicated in close connection with the mention "Packed for:" or an equivalent mention. In this case, the labelling shall also include a code representing the packer and/or the dispatcher. The seller shall give all information deemed necessary by the inspection body as to the meaning of this code.B.Nature of produce"Apples" if the contents are not visible from the outside.Name of the variety. In the case of a mixture of apples of distinctly different varieties, names of the different varieties.The name of the variety may be replaced by a synonym. A trade nameA trade name can be a trade mark for which protection has been sought or obtained, or any other commercial denomination. may only be given in addition to the variety or the synonym.In the case of mutants with varietal protection, this variety name may replace the basic variety name. In case of mutants without varietal protection, this mutant name may only be indicated in addition to the basic variety name."Miniature variety", where appropriate.C.Origin of produceCountry of originThe full or commonly used name shall be indicated. and, optionally, district where grown, or national, regional or local place name.In the case of a mixture of distinctly different varieties of apples of different origins, the indication of each country of origin shall appear next to the name of the variety concerned.D.Commercial specificationsClassSize, or for fruit packed in rows and layers, number of units.If identification is by the size, this should be expressed:(a)for produce subject to the uniformity rules, as minimum and maximum diameters or minimum and maximum weights;(b)optionally, for produce not subject to the uniformity rules, as the diameter or the weight of the smallest fruit in the package followed by "and over" or equivalent denomination or, where appropriate, followed by the diameter or weight of the largest fruit in the package.E.Official control mark (optional)Packages need not to bear the particulars mentioned in the first subparagraph, when they contain sales packages, clearly visible from the outside, and all bearing these particulars. These packages shall be free from any indications such as could mislead. When these packages are palletised, the particulars shall be given on a notice placed in an obvious position on at least two sides of the pallet.AppendixNon-exhaustive list of apple varietiesFruits of varieties that are not part of the list must be graded according to their varietal characteristics.Some of the varieties listed in the following table may be marketed under names for which trademark protection has been sought or obtained in one or more countries.

PART 2: MARKETING STANDARD FOR CITRUS FRUITI.DEFINITION OF PRODUCEThis standard applies to citrus fruit of varieties (cultivars) grown from the following species, to be supplied fresh to the consumer, citrus fruit for industrial processing being excluded:lemons grown from the species Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. and hybrids thereof,mandarins grown from the species Citrus reticulata Blanco, including satsumas (Citrus unshiu Marcow), clementines (Citrus clementina hort. ex Tanaka), common mandarins (Citrus deliciosa Ten.) and tangerines (Citrus tangerina Tanaka) grown from these species and hybrids thereof,oranges grown from the species Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck and hybrids thereof.II.PROVISIONS CONCERNING QUALITYThe purpose of the standard is to define the quality requirements for citrus fruit after preparation and packaging.However, at stages following dispatch products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard:a slight lack of freshness and turgidity,for products graded in classes other than the "Extra" Class, a slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.A.Minimum requirementsIn all classes, subject to the special provisions for each class and the tolerances allowed, the citrus fruit must be:intact,free of bruising and/or extensive healed overcuts,sound; produce affected by rotting or deterioration such as to make it unfit for consumption is excluded,clean, practically free of any visible foreign matter,practically free from pests,free from damage caused by pests affecting the flesh,free of signs of shrivelling and dehydration,free of damage caused by low temperature or frost,free of abnormal external moisture,free of any foreign smell and/or taste.The development and condition of the citrus fruit must be such as to enable it:to withstand transportation and handling, andto arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.B.Maturity requirementsThe citrus fruit must have reached an appropriate degree of development and ripeness, account being taken of criteria proper to the variety, the time of picking and the growing area.Maturity of citrus fruit is defined by the following parameters specified for each species below:minimum juice content,minimum sugar/acid ratioCalculated as described in the OECD guidance on objective tests, available at: http://www.oecd.org/agriculture/fruit-vegetables/publications,colouring.The degree of colouring shall be such that following normal development the citrus fruit reach the colour typical of the variety at their destination point.

	Minimum juice content (per cent)	Minimum sugar/acid ratio	Colouring
Lemons	20		Must be typical of the variety. Fruit with a green (but not dark green) colour is allowed, provided it satisfies the minimum requirements as to juice content
Satsumas, clementines, other mandarin varieties and their hybrids
Satsumas	33	6,5:1	Must be typical of the variety on at least one third of the surface of the fruit
Clementines	40	7,0:1
Other mandarin varieties and their hybrids	33	7,5:1For the varieties Mandora and Minneola the minimum sugar/acid ratio is 6.0:1 until the end of the marketing year commencing 1 January 2023.
Oranges
Blood oranges	30	6,5:1	Must be typical of the variety. However, fruit with light green colour not exceeding one fifth of the total surface area of the fruit is allowed, provided it satisfies the minimum requirements as to juice content.Oranges produced in areas with high temperatures and high relative humidity conditions during the developing period having a green colour exceeding one fifth of the surface area of the fruit are allowed, provided they satisfy the minimum requirements as to juice content.
Navels group	33	6,5:1
Other varieties	35	6,5:1
Mosambi, Sathgudi and Pacitan with more than one fifth green colour	33
Other varieties with more than one fifth green colour	45

Citrus fruit meeting these maturity requirements may be "degreened". This treatment is only permitted if the other natural organoleptic characteristics are not modified.C.ClassificationCitrus fruit is classified in three classes, as defined below:(i)"Extra" ClassCitrus fruit in this class must be of superior quality. It must be characteristic of the variety and/or commercial type.It must be free from defects, with the exception of very slight superficial defects, provided these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the package.(ii)Class ICitrus fruit in this class must be of good quality. It must be characteristic of the variety and/or commercial type.The following slight defects, however, may be allowed provided these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the package:a slight defect in shape,slight defects in colouring, including slight sunburn,slight progressive skin defects, provided they do not affect the flesh,slight skin defects occurring during the formation of the fruit, such as silver scurfs, russets or pest damage,slight healed defects due to a mechanical cause such as hail damage, rubbing or damage from handling,slight and partial detachment of the peel (or rind) for all fruit of the mandarin group.(iii)Class IIThis class includes citrus fruit which does not qualify for inclusion in the higher classes but satisfies the minimum requirements specified above.The following defects may be allowed, provided the citrus fruit retains its essential characteristics as regards the quality, the keeping quality and presentation:defects in shape,defects in colouring, including sunburn,progressive skin defects, provided they do not affect the flesh,skin defects occurring during the formation of the fruit, such as silver scurfs, russets or pest damage,healed defects due to a mechanical cause such as hail damage, rubbing or damage from handling,superficial healed skin alterations,rough skin,a slight and partial detachment of the peel (or rind) for oranges and a partial detachment of the peel (or rind) for all fruit of the mandarin group.III.PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZINGSize is determined by the maximum diameter of the equatorial section of the fruit or by count.A.Minimum sizeThe following minimum sizes apply:

This provision does not apply to packages intended for single servings in all classes.IV.PROVISIONS CONCERNING TOLERANCESAt all marketing stages, tolerances in respect of quality and size shall be allowed in each lot for produce not satisfying the requirements of the class indicated.A.Quality tolerances(i)"Extra" ClassA total tolerance of 5 per cent, by weight, of bunches not satisfying the requirements of the class, but meeting those for Class I is allowed. Within this tolerance not more than 0,5 per cent in total may consist of produce satisfying the requirements of Class II quality.(ii)Class IA total tolerance of 10 per cent, by weight, of bunches not satisfying the requirements of the class, but meeting those of Class II is allowed. Within this tolerance not more than 1 per cent in total may consist of produce satisfying neither the requirements of Class II quality nor the minimum requirements, or of produce affected by decay.In addition to those tolerances, a maximum of 10 per cent, by weight, of loose berries, i.e. berries detached from the bunch/cluster, are allowed provided that the berries are sound and intact.(iii)Class IIA total tolerance of 10 per cent, by weight, of bunches satisfying neither the requirements of the class nor the minimum requirements is allowed. Within this tolerance not more than 2 per cent in total may consist of produce affected by decay.In addition to those tolerances, a maximum of 10 per cent, by weight, of loose berries, i.e. berries detached from the bunch/cluster, are allowed provided that the berries are sound and intact.B.Size tolerancesFor all classes (if sized): a total tolerance of 10 per cent, by weight, of bunches not satisfying the requirements as regards sizing is allowed. In each sales package (except for single servings), one bunch weighing less than 75 g is allowed to adjust the weight, provided the bunch meets all other requirements of the specified class.V.PROVISIONS CONCERNING PRESENTATIONA.UniformityThe contents of each package must be uniform and contain only bunches of the same origin, variety, quality and degree of ripeness.In the case of the "Extra" Class, the bunches must be approximately uniform in size and colouring.However, a mixture of table grapes of distinctly different varieties may be packed together in a package, provided they are uniform in quality and, for each variety concerned, in origin.The visible part of the contents of the package must be representative of the entire contents.B.PackagingThe table grapes must be packed in such a way as to protect the produce properly.The materials used inside the package must be clean and of a quality such as to avoid causing any external or internal damage to the produce.

They must be firm and characteristic of the variety and/or commercial type.They must be free from greenbacks and other defects, with the exception of very slight superficial defects, provided these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the package.(ii)Class ITomatoes in this class must be of good quality. They must be reasonably firm and characteristic of the variety and/or commercial type.They must be free of cracks and visible greenbacks.The following slight defects, however, may be allowed provided these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in the package:a slight defect in shape and development,slight defects in colouring,slight skin defects,very slight bruises.Furthermore, "ribbed" tomatoes may show:healed cracks not more than 1 cm long,no excessive protuberances,small umbilicus, but no suberisation,suberisation of the stigma up to 1 cm2,fine blossom scar in elongated form (like a seam), but not longer than two-thirds of the greatest diameter of the fruit.(iii)Class IIThis class includes tomatoes which do not qualify for inclusion in the higher classes, but satisfy the minimum requirements specified above.They must be reasonably firm (but may be slightly less firm than in Class I) and must not show unhealed cracks.The following defects may be allowed provided the tomatoes retain their essential characteristics as regards the quality, the keeping quality and presentation:defects in shape and development,defects in colouring,skin defects or bruises, provided the fruit is not seriously affected,healed cracks not more than 3 cm in length for round, ribbed or oblong tomatoes.Furthermore, "ribbed" tomatoes may show:more pronounced protuberances than allowed under Class I, but without being misshapen,an umbilicus,suberisation of the stigma up to 2 cm 2,fine blossom scar in elongated form (like a seam).III.PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZINGSize is determined by the maximum diameter of the equatorial section, by weight or by count.The following provisions shall not apply to trusses of tomatoes and are optional for:cherry and cocktail tomatoes below 40 mm in diameter;ribbed tomatoes of irregular shape; andClass II.To ensure uniformity in size, the range in size between produce in the same package shall not exceed:(a)For tomatoes sized by diameter:10 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is under 50 mm,15 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is 50 mm and over but under 70 mm,20 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is 70 mm and over but under 100 mm,there is no limitation of difference in diameter for fruit equal or over 100 mm.In case size codes are applied, the codes and ranges in the following table have to be respected:

Size code	Diameter (mm)
0	≤ 20
1	> 20 ≤ 25
2	> 25 ≤ 30
3	> 30 ≤ 35
4	> 35 ≤ 40
