COMMENTS ON THE USE OF OBJECTIVE INDICES OF MATURITY IN COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES[19] (Agenda Item 8)

80. The Committee at its last session agreed that comments and information received on specific proposals on the use of objective indices of maturity would be considered at its current meeting (ALINORM 97-35, paras. 83 - 84).

81. The Representative of the OECD informed the Committee that the organization had already developed texts relating to objective tests of maturity as well as a compendium of reference indices used by OECD member countries, and suggested that these documents could be used as a source of information for the Committee.

82. The Committee expressed its appreciation to the Representative of the OECD for their offer to provide more information in the future. In view of the initiatives currently being undertaken by the OECD, the Committee decided to discontinue specific work in this area.
