Jaco Geurts (CDA) submitted a motion on Wednesday 6 December to seek support, within the framework of derogation, for dairy farms that are in trouble due to the system of phosphate rights. That motion was adopted by the House of Representatives on Tuesday 12 December.
By adopting the motion, Minister Carola Schouten (Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality) must investigate the possibilities for the award of pinch points. This leaves even more room for the pinch at the last minute.
Innovative out of the pinch
Geurts submitted this motion in response to a petition of 'dairy farmers out of trouble. They advocate, among other things, a correction to the phosphate ceiling of exported phosphate to phosphate-poor areas and a one-off exchange from pig phosphate to dairy cattle phosphate.
Schouten has indicated that he wishes to enter into discussions with this committee. How this will be further implemented is still unknown.
