However, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 784/68, the Commission must disregard infor- mation if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in an offer re- lates to a small quantity which is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be assumed not to be representative of actual market trends must also be disre- garded. () OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1. () OJ L 104, 20.4.2002, p. 26.
