  "text": "The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 is amended as follows:\n(1) point III is replaced by the following:\n‘III.\nPROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZING\nSize is determined either by the maximum diameter of the equatorial section or by weight.\nFor all varieties and for all classes the minimum size is 60 mm, if measured by diameter or 90 g, if measured by weight. Fruit of smaller sizes may be accepted, if the Brix level of the produce is greater than or equal to 10,5° Brix and the size is not smaller than 50 mm or 70 g.\nTo ensure there is uniformity of size within the package:\n(a) for fruit sized according to the diameter, the difference in diameter between fruit in the same package shall be limited to:\n5 mm for “Extra” Class fruit and for Classes I and II fruit packed in rows and layers. However, for apples of the varieties Bramley's Seedling (Bramley, Triomphe de Kiel) and Horneburger, the difference in diameter may amount to 10 mm, and\n10 mm for Class I fruit packed loose in the package or sales packages. However, for apples of the varieties Bramley's Seedling (Bramley, Triomphe de Kiel) and Horneburger, the difference in diameter may amount to 20 mm, or\n(b) for fruit sized according to weight, the difference in weight between fruit in the same package shall be limited to:\n20 % of the average individual fruit weight in the package for “Extra” Class fruit and for Classes I and II fruit packed in rows and layers, and\n25 % of the average individual fruit weight in the package for Class I fruit packed loose in the package or in consumer packages.\nThere is no sizing uniformity requirement for Class II fruit packed loose in the package or in consumer packages.’;\n(2) in the Appendix, the point 4 is replaced by the following:\n‘4.\nNon-exhaustive list of apple varieties classified according to their colouring, russeting and size criteria:\nFruits of varieties that are not part of the list must be graded according to their varietal characteristics.\nAt least 20 % red in Class I and Class II.\nHowever, for the variety Jonagold, at least one-tenth surface of the fruit in Class II must be streaked with red colouring.\nVarieties\nSynonyms\nColour group\nRusseting\nSize\nAfrican
