Recital 1

Article 7 of Commission Regulation 2001/1148 of 12 June 2001 on checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables ( 2 ) lays down the conditions for the approval of checking operations performed by certain third countries which so request prior to import into the Community.

Recital 2

The Turkish authorities sent the Commission a request for the approval of checking operations performed under the responsibility of the General Directorate of Standardisation for Foreign Trade. This request states that the aforementioned inspection bodies have the necessary staff, equipment and facilities to carry out checks, that they use methods equivalent to those referred to in Article 9 of Regulation 2001/1148 and that the fresh fruit and vegetables exported from Turkey to the Community meet the Community marketing standards.

Recital 3

The information sent by the Member States to the Commission shows that, in the period 2001 to 2005, the incidence of non-conformity with marketing standards among imports from Turkey of fresh fruit and vegetables was low.

Recital 4

Checks on conformity carried out by Turkey should therefore be approved with effect from the date of implementation of the administrative cooperation procedure provided for in Article 7(8) of Regulation 2001/1148.
