Annexes I, II, III, IV and V to the present Regulation establish the quality standards to be applied at all stages of marketing of cabbages, Brussels sprouts, ribbed celery, spinach and plums respectively. By way of derogation, however, at the stages following dispatch the products may show, in relation to the standards prescribed, a slight lack of freshness and turgescence, and, for the products graded in the class other than the "extra" class, slight alterations due to their development and their perishable nature. The standards concern sizing, presentation, packaging, marking and tolerances.
