In order to align the notifications by Member States and improve the comparability and transparency of the prices of the fruit and vegetables listed in that Annex, certain provisions need to be added to Article 55 of that Delegated Regulation.(2)To take into account the developments of representative sizes and presentation of the fruit and vegetables on the market, and the production capacity of Member States for certain fruit and vegetables, it is necessary to update Annex VI to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, based on the latest information available. Due to their economic importance, some products should be added to the list in that Annex. Certain fruits should be removed from that list as they are not deemed representative for the Union market as a whole. A new assessment of the production capacity of Member States also required an update of the list of representative markets.(3)Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 should therefore be amended accordingly.(4)Given that there are new representative markets and new products in Annex VI to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, Member States should be given sufficient time to adapt their communication systems. Therefore the application of this Delegated Regulation should be deferred to 1 January 2025,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
