The following text shall be substituted for the text of Section VI A of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 316/68: "A unit of presentation (bunch, bouquet, box and the like) must consist of 5, 10 or a multiple of 10 pieces. However this rule does not apply to: (a) flowers normally sold singly, (b) flowers normally sold by weight, (c) flowers for which seller and buyer agree expressly to derogate from the provisions concerning the number of flowers in a unit of presentation. This derogation is admissible solely for transactions outside wholesale markets on condition that - the goods are the subject of a direct sale, based on a fixed selling-price per unit of presentation, at wholesale level to a retailer or a person acting on behalf of a retailer, - the goods are accompanied by a bill, delivery note or similar document showing the above-mentioned selling-price, - the unit of presentation is in the packaging required by the buyer for the ultimate purchaser. This packaging must be such as to permit identification of the goods." 2. The following shall be added to Section VII of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 316/68: "F Presentation If the number of flowers per unit of presentation does not correspond to the provisions of Section IV A, packages must be marked to show the exact composition of the units of presentation contained therein."
