These Regulations amend the Apple Orchard Grubbing Up Regulations 1991, by amending the definition of “the Commission Regulation” to take account of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 3149/94 (OJ No. L 332, 22.12.94, p. 29).

• The amendment to the Apple Orchard Grubbing Up Regulations 1991 ensures that, from the coming into force of the amendment, applications for the grubbing up premium made pursuant to the derogation set out in Commission Regulation 3149/94 will be subject to the provisions of the Apple Orchard Grubbing Up Regulations 1991.
