From 1972 to 1985, he lobbied in Brussels for mutual recognition of pharmaceutical qualifications between the United Kingdom and European Union. He was ultimately successful.
In 1974, Appelbe was appointed deputy head of the Pharmaceutical Society's Law Department, retaining the role of secretary of the European Committee and taking on the role of secretary of the Ethics Committee.
