The Apple Orchard Grubbing Up Regulations 1991
These Regulations lay down the measures necessary to supervise and enforce in Great Britain the provisions of Council regulations (EEC) No 1200/90 on the improvement of the Community production of apples and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2604/90, which contains detailed rules for the applications of the Council Regulation. The Council Regulation and the Commission Regulation provide for the payment of a premium to apple producers who grub up their orchards, and penalize, during the fifteen years following grubbing up, the planting of apple trees by the recipient of the premium on any part of his holding and by subsequent occupiers on the areas grubbed up. The premium is not available to producers of cider apples.
