Support and protect craft cider and perry production in the UK

Oppose the proposal by the EU to remove the tax exemption for small cider and perry producers who cultivate individual cider orchards and produce artisan ciders.

Why is this important?

Small producers plant and maintain orchards which contain traditional cider apple/perry pear varieties, these will be grubbed up because the production of artisan cider (or perry) will not be economically viable. The large producers will take over and reduce choice to the consumer. Local (and even national) varieties of cider apple will disappear.
