Operative part of the judgment
1. |
Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 386/2004 of 1 March 2004, must be interpreted as meaning that a product which is covered by one of the CN codes listed in Annex I to that regulation, as amended, including CN code 2008 70 92, and which corresponds to the definition ‘peaches in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice’, within the meaning of that regulation, read in conjunction with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003 of 29 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards the aid scheme for products processed from fruit and vegetables, as amended by Regulation No 386/2004, and with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2320/89 of 28 July 1989 laying down minimum quality requirements for peaches in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice under the production aid scheme, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 996/2001 of 22 May 2001, qualifies for the aid scheme referred to in that provision. |
2. |
The product obtained at the end of each different stage of processing of peaches may be regarded as being a finished product for the purposes of Regulations Nos 2201/96 and 1535/2003, as amended, provided that it has the characteristics set out in Article 2(1) of Regulation No 1535/2003, as amended. |
