Annexes I, II and III to this Regulation set forth the quality standards applicable to leeks, aubergines and courgettes respectively. Those standards shall apply at all stages of marketing, in compliance with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No. 1035/72 (which has been repealed and replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No. 2200/96 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables). However, at the stages following dispatch, the product may show, in relation to the standards prescribed, a slight lack of freshness and turgescence, or a slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish. The standards established by the Annexes above-mentioned concern separately quality, sizing, tolerances, presentation and packaging as well as marking.
