(48) The application of standards for the marketing of agricultural products can contribute to improving the economic conditions for the production and marketing as well as the quality of such products. The application of such standards is therefore in the interest of producers, traders and consumers. In order to bring about these economic and qualitative improvements, this Regulation and its implementing regulations should include all the previous provisions of the single CMO and its implementing regulations concerning specific standards, including those relating to indications of origin, additional requirements for the marketing of fruit and vegetables, and the content of standards on meat from bovine animals aged 12 months or less, milk and milk products, spreadable fats, eggs and poultrymeat, hops and honey.

(146) Pursuant to Regulation (EUC) No [COM(2010)799]1234/2007, several sectoral measures, including on milk quotas, sugar quotas and other sugar measures and the restrictions on the planting of vines, as well as certain state aids, will expire within a reasonable period following the entry in force of this Regulation. After the repeal of Regulation (EU) No [COM(2010)799], the relevant provisions should continue to apply until the end of the schemes concernare supposed to expire soon after the entry in force of this Regulation because of decisions taken in the past. On account of a context of very great volatility of European and international agricultural market prices and a difficult budgetary context, the principle of abandonment of these supply management tools, which are extremely important for the stability of farm incomes and for security of supply for consumers, ought to be reconsidered. Vine-planting rights ought, in particular, to be preserved.
