Concept to House of Representatives

Schouten comes with draft phosphate law

27 November 2017 - Bart-Jan van Zandwijk - 7 comments

Today, Monday 27 November, Minister of Agriculture (LNV), Carola Schouten, sent a draft for the entry into force of the system of phosphate rights to the House of Representatives.

The draft entry into force decree, which states the entry into force of the system of phosphate rights, has been sent in draft to the House of Representatives by LNV Minister Carola Schouten on Monday 27 November. It states that the phosphate rights will be introduced as of 1 January 2018.

Derogation
Schouten writes that she assumes that the European Commission (EC) will grant the Netherlands a derogation for the period 2018-2021. She bases this on 'constructive' discussions that have taken place with members of the EC in recent months.

Schouten wants to send the Dutch implementation of the sixth Nitrates Directive action program to the EC in December, part of this is the derogation.

The derogation is no longer necessary for me as an organic sector, we don't have a derogation after all, so just 2 or 2,5 cows per ha and no phosphate rights

Not necessary for me either;
due to a discount related to phosphate rights, it costs me 80.000 per year (lost income - costs).... (or I have to invest approximately 3 tons in phosphate rights)
If I lose the derogation, I will lose 50.000 extra per year in fertilizer sales.
Then no derogation as long as I lose the phosphate rights with it.

But that's a vain hope I'm afraid...

Very sorry!! Derogation is only a short term vision and a blackmail tool, and will only be used to downsize our livestock. The price tag attached to it does not outweigh the costs of fertilizer disposal!

Derogation yes or no does not matter for the amount of animals we have to go back in numbers . Without a derogation you are no longer allowed to keep cows, although some people think you can. The fertilizer placement in the Netherlands is full . Therefore, but with a derogation, you can still place more manure on your land. And the manure problem is slightly less severe, and the pressure on the manure market less great.

@Gradje you are talking untruths! An agreement was reached with the Ministry at the beginning of 2017. If there is no NEW derogation, there will be no phosphate rights and there is (if there is no derogation) (the current legal basis for retaining the derogation not if there is no derogation) there is also no legal basis for a phosphate ceiling. Politicians NOW want to RECOGNIZE a legal phosphate ceiling as of 1-1-2018, only many farmers do not want to understand this, because they think that with their derogation, they buy expensive phosphate rights and a "stand still" is better off!!!!

Phosphate rights will be granted when there is a prospect of derogation. That is now there, so the minister has announced the law.
The derogation is not there yet....

Without phosphate rights there is no prospect of derogation.
You can no longer respond.
