Whereas, although this measure enabled 25 569,4 hectares to be grubbed, including 19 368,7 hectares in the new German Laender, the area under apple trees in the Community nevertheless increased by 8 700 hectares between 1987 and 1992 (not taking the new  German Laender into account);
Whereas this increase could lead to a big surplus on the market in 1994/95; whereas the grubbing measure provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1200/90 should therefore be reactivated for this marketing year, with the conditions for the granting of this  measure being adjusted in order to increase its effectiveness,
Regulation (EEC) No 1200/90 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1:
- 'During the 1990/91, 1991/92 and 1992/93 marketing years' shall be replaced by 'During the 1990/91, 1991/92, 1992/93 and 1994/95 marketing years',
- the existing indent becomes paragraph 1,
- the following paragraph shall be added:
'The Member States may, for objective reasons, in particular the special situation on the local market, protection of the environment or the necessity of avoiding a disproportionate reduction in emloyment, disapply this Regulation from part or all of  their territory.';
2. the following shall be added to Article 2 (1) (a):
'However, for the 1994/95 marketing year, this grubbing may relate to part of the orchard.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
