Fresh fruit and vegetables, bananas, nuts and dried fruit – EU Commission review of marketing standards

25 Apr 2023

The EU Commission is reviewing the current marketing standards for fresh fruit and vegetables. This aims to:

• encourage the supply of more sustainable fruit and vegetable products to consumers;
• modernise outdated rules; and
• simplify current legislation on marketing standards and align it with the requirements of the Treaty of Lisbon.

The 2020 Commission work programme lists marketing standards as an area for action, and the Commission’s Farm to Fork Strategy envisages a review of marketing standards.
