Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/853 of 1 June 2015 establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
## Policy Summary: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/853
This Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/853, enacted on June 1, 2015, establishes standard import values for determining the entry price of specific fruits and vegetables. This regulation is based on the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and derived from Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, which outlines the common organization of agricultural product markets, and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, which sets detailed rules for the fruit and vegetable sectors.
The regulation implements criteria established in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, resulting from the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, to fix standard import values from third countries for products and periods defined in Annex XVI, Part A of that regulation. These values are calculated daily, as per Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, using variable daily data.
Article 1 of this regulation fixes the standard import values as outlined in the Annex. Article 2 states that the regulation came into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
The Annex specifies standard import values (EUR/100 kg) for various CN codes (Combined Nomenclature codes) and corresponding third-country codes. Examples include:
* **0702 00 00 (Tomatoes):** Albania (56,4), Morocco (94,4), Macedonia (108,8), Turkey (80,1), Other Origins (84,9)
* **0707 00 05 (Cucumbers):** Albania (34,4), Macedonia (36,9), Turkey (105,8), Other Origins (59,0)

* **0809 29 00 (Peaches):** United States (715,4), Other Origins (715,4)
