(a) do not have a label required by the banana marketing standards affixed to them;

(b) are not accompanied by a notice or document required by the banana marketing standards;

(d) are accompanied by a notice or document required by the banana marketing standards, but which appears to the authorised officer to be incorrect as laid down in Paragraph VI of Annex I to the Commission Implementing Regulation (other than in relation to the classification of the bananas under the banana marketing standards), or to have been altered or defaced with the result that it is incorrect,

the authorised officer may, as appropriate, amend or cancel the label, notice or document and may affix to those bananas, or, as the case may be, to the container, a non-compliance label.
