The Senate must reject the nitrogen law. Three representatives of the interests of dairy farming (NMV), pig farming (POV) and poultry farming (NVP) are making this appeal. This makes them think completely differently from, for example, LTO Nederland and the NAJK, which are in favor of the approval of the law.
In a letter to all members of the Senate, sent to chairman Jan Bruijn, the 3 organizations are not playing around. "The nitrogen law undermines the future of many farms. As a result, an important pillar of the Dutch economy (more than €100 billion in production value, with €45 billion in trade surplus) is in danger of being decimated in the coming years. The liveability of the countryside is at risk," he said. she to the Senate.
Politicized and legalized
They indicate that the current nitrogen policy falls short on many points, such as the inadequate substantiation of the Critical Deposition Values (KDW), the inaccuracy of Aerius, the way of monitoring the state of nature, the opaque changes to nature maps and the unclear effects of nitrogen. "Stop the politicized and legalized nitrogen affair and prevent populations from being crushed under the wheels of overdone government policy."
NMV, POV and NVP emphasize that the Nitrogen Act is not necessary. "The law does not contribute to improving the state of nature, nor to the legalization of PAS detectors, nor to accelerating housing construction." Solving the problems for the approximately 1.000 PAS detectors is an important motivation for LTO Nederland, for example, to agree to the nitrogen law. Although the law may have this intention, there are warnings from various sides about a lot of legal wrangling in this file.
Divided sector
The nitrogen bill was not declared controversial by the Senate last week. The intention of the Senate is that it will be considered before the elections to the House of Representatives in March. In the run-up to that, the senators see a divided agricultural sector.
