'Manure export to Germany must continue'

The export of Dutch manure to Germany has been jeopardized by the stricter regulations of the German government. In addition, some federal states regard processed manure as waste. The latter has been going on for at least one year. 

Helma Lodders, agricultural spokesperson for the VVD, has put written questions to State Secretary Martijn van Dam. This is in response to developments in Germany. 'The impact of the stricter rules should soon become clear.' In this interview she also discusses manure fraud in the Netherlands and what this means for the rules that are being prepared, such as the sixth action program Nitrates Directive.
