The Nitrogen Claim Foundation will start proceedings this week against the feed measure by LNV Minister Carola Schouten at the European Commission in Brussels. The foundation assumes that they will be found in the right.
Until September 3, the ministerial regulation, with which the minister wants to guarantee enforceable and guaranteeable nitrogen reduction in livestock farming this year via the cattle feed track, is available for inspection at the European Commission. The Stikstofclaim Foundation is confident that the European Commission has enough time to study the file and is receptive to valid arguments, unlike the Dutch government. "The Hague does not respect the law and uses legal stratagems and tricks," said chairman John Spithoven.
Hague obstinacy
In the statement, he says: "During the past period, the dairy farming sector has held frequent consultations with the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality about nitrogen policy and the feed measure. Unfortunately, again without success. plans. On the basis of a political and legal reality that has become at a great distance from reality and farming. The feed measure once again crosses a line, the limit is full. This is also apparent from the unrest of the past few days, where farmers with their wives and children are arrested with an unprecedented display of power" (referring to the blockade of the waste processing in Wijster yesterday).
Plaintiffs Wanted
The Stikstofclaim Foundation is looking for dairy farmers who act as claimants. According to them, time and money is hardly or not at all involved. The board therefore expects many applications and selects a number of dairy farmers from them. In order to avoid overloading the foundation board, this is not communicated.
