The control of this disease in organic production is difficult and requires the use of copper, the use of which can be reduced by applying calcium hydroxide.\n(4)\nEthylene is already included in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 as a substance of traditional use in organic farming. It has appeared appropriate to complete the conditions for use of that substance in order to cover, besides bananas, certain other fruits for which ethylene is needed in the production.\n(5)\nAnnex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
