Part A Compulsory Translation 必译题

In the European Union, carrots must be firm but notwoody, cucumbers must

not be too curved andcelery has to be free of any type of cavity. This was the

law, one that banned overly curved,extraknobbly

or oddly shaped produce from supermarket shelves.

But in a victory for opponents of European regulation,

100 pages of legislation determiningthe size, shape and texture of fruit and v

egetables have been torn up. On Wednesday, EUofficials agreed to axe rules l

aying down standards for 26 products, from peas to plums.

In doing so, the authorities hope they have killed off regulations routinely us

ed by critics - mostnotably in the British media - to ridicule the meddling ten

dencies of the EU.

After years of news stories about the permitted angle or curvature of fruit an

d vegetables, thedecision Wednesday also coincided with the rising price of c

ommodities. With the cost of theweekly supermarket visit on the rise, it has

become increasingly hard to defend the actofthrowing away food just becaus

e it looks strange.

Beginning in July next year, when the changes go into force, standards on th

e 26 products willdisappear altogether. Shoppers will the be able to chose the

ir produce whatever itsappearance.

Under a compromise reached with national governments, many of which opp

osed thechanges, standards will remain for 10 types of fruit and vegetables, i

ncluding apples, citrus fruit,peaches, pears, strawberries and tomatoes.

But those in this category that do not meet European norms will still be allow

ed onto themarket, providing they are marked as being substandard or inten

ded for cooking orprocessing.
