LINDAU, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 01: Apple farmer Andreas Willhalm looks at apples ahead of the annual harvest season on the Obstbau Willhalm farm near Bodensee Lake on September 1, 2014 near Lindau, Germany. The European Union has announced plans to aid apple farmers across Europe hit by falling prices due to both a bumper crop and the recent embargo by Russia on a wide range of EU imports, including apples. The area around the Bodensee is among the main fruit-growing regions in Germany. (Photo by Johannes Simon/Getty Images)
