LNV: 'Night Nitrogen Emergency Act legally unfeasible'

11 November 2019 - Kimberly Bakker - 17 comments

The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality sees 'the emergency law' of the Party for Freedom (PVV) as legally unfeasible. PVV leader Geert Wilders again suggested an emergency law, with which he hopes to arrange that projects in the field of housing, agriculture and infrastructure can continue, regardless of nitrogen emissions.

A spokesperson for Minister Carola Schouten (Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality) reports that the idea of ​​the PVV is legally unfeasible. "We can no longer live on credit when it comes to taking measures to reduce nitrogen emissions," she said. RTL News† According to the ministry, the PVV's plan contains several elements that are based on this.

Emergency law of importance
According to the party leader, every residential area, highway or stable under construction must be declared of urgent public interest, with the exception of mega stables. In this way, it wants to avoid painful interventions in, for example, the maximum speed. "The emergency law ensures, among other things, that farmers can build farmers and builders. Also, no hasty decisions are made in this way."

The emergency law to circumvent the nitrogen rules must eventually be in effect for six months. "During that period, the cabinet can search for a definitive solution in peace," Wilders reports.

Formula 1 will continue, that falls under public interest, just like fireworks, Easter and bonfires. Let the construction stop and my canal houses will increase in value hi hi ha

Heads must be hammered with nails. An emergency law is nothing: this is putting things on the back burner. The famous boomerang! F1 is of course a disgrace: from a 'wrong' prince lifted over the horse. A blot on the reputation of the royal family.

Wilders's plan is the only correct one and bears witness to vision. Something that the sitting parties in this area are completely missing!

Come on, say farmer Dieuwke I have scored 3 spots in the row of dunes for 6 years. We will not let that diminish us. We don't want to become the vinegar scumbags that populate the Randstad today ;). For the time being, we will first measure and then (can take 3 years according to JanCees and Geesje in collaboration with the UvA) we can make policy. Moreover, companies with NB permits, such as most livestock farmers have, cannot make anything. They are safer than, say, Schiphol and the municipal waste companies, which unfortunately do not have the necessary papers. We live in a banana republic and those (farmers) who run their businesses through a licensed situation are in theory the best. But when Mark appears laughing away, everything can just be laughed away, even our permits. Hans Klok has nothing to do with it.

Dream away Fortissimo. We farmers have to deal with reality. Otherwise, the Supreme Court will come into action again. We can't have that.

the bottom line is that the whole country is being shut down by 1 leftist nothing who is also sponsored, and has been bullying the farmer for years. Pure madness. Take your passport and withdraw benefits I would say.

Roy, finish your agricultural school. You talk from your neck and are not held back by political knowledge. The VVD, a right-wing party, has never done anything for the agricultural sector. Mansholt, a left-wing PvdA member, laid the foundations for the current agricultural structure 60 years ago, which is still being defended tooth and nail by the average left/right farmer/arable farmer. That means more and more of the same, of which there is already so much. That system has long since become obsolete and is also very environmentally unfriendly. All those left and right farmers are now digging their own grave: suicide! The individual farmer must change course, they must learn to think for themselves. Now their suppliers do. It's milk or be milked!

of course, f the farmer until there is no more eating then everything is allowed again
shoemakers 1 11 November 2019
we are being milked here by our government, that has to stop
René 12 November 2019
They will never solve this file without amendments to the NB Act!
Livestock farms are fine with the permit.
The rest is mopping with the tap open.

Building houses with NH3 nitrogen........

It's only because the PVV comes up with the plan for an emergency law, if another party had come up with it, it would have been great.
F. de Boer 12 November 2019
We won: 100 km/h for cars. Farmers now have to hand in relatively less ammonia. How long will this solidarity last? The speed of tractors goes back to 16 km/h on the road.

I have enough knowledge of De Boer, in contrast to 'scientific advisory institutions' from the government such as RIVM and PBL, which only come up with assumptions and models instead of measurements. Make measuring points at the most unfavorable location and let political preference speak for themselves in their advice? Objectivity and Ratio have long since disappeared there, just laughable.
Farmers don't want much political interference at all. The current free market system is the only thing that has a future! I'm not saying everything is going well, but at least 80%.
And circular agriculture, which depends on subsidies and a planned economy created by The Hague, is already doomed in advance. Reason not resistant to competition and just find entrepreneurs who want to go 50 years back in time.
F. de Boer 13 November 2019
Roy, for a free market system you have to go to Russia or American. You have no future here. This will also open up opportunities for other farmers, who may also produce less nitrogen and particulate matter. Double win! To do

Roy 13 November 2019
For a free market system to Russia, hope everything else goes well? They are quite corrupt there, just like the judiciary here with the Wilders trial. I find it remarkable where people have the guts to tell farmers who have had a business here for generations that they have to leave. These are often people who have nothing to do with the countryside, I would say you get involved in things that you understand or feel about.
You can no longer respond.
