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.
