The agreement has three pillars, writes state secretary Martijn van Dam (Economic Affairs) to the Room.
There are appointments made to the phosphorus content in the feed to reduce. Farmers that all their cattle away, get a premium. The sooner you stop, the higher the premium. And dairies give a strafkorting for all of the a lot of supplied milk.
Farmers have too many cows purchased since the milk quota last year was abolished. They therefore produce more manure, and so phosphate than our country can produce according to agreements with the European Union. If there is no agreement had come, threatened Brussels with hard action in the Dutch dairy farming. dairy.
Accept
The fosfaatakkoord still needs to be further elaborated. The first parts should on 1 January enter into force. The agreement must in any case lead to 8.2 million kg less phosphate. How many cows should disappear is not explicitly mentioned, but it is estimated to go to about 175.000.
“All parties have their neck extended. The sector has taken the lead and we succeeded to put together a master plan to forge. This plan is crucial for the future of Dutch dairy farming. The first hurdle is taken,” says Van Dam in a statement.
25 million
Van Dam attracts 25 million to reduce the dairy herd. This amount is inclusive of the 23 million that he had previously promised. The dairy industry puts the same amount. The banks are liable for prepayment required for companies that stop completely.
“The Dutch dairy farming and milk production show this resilience and show that they are able to jointly make an effort”, according to LTO, the Netherlands, in a comment. “But at the same time, a far-reaching package. We ask quite a lot of dairy farmers.” Also other farmers ‘ organizations emphasize in a joint statement with the LTO, however, the necessity of the measures.
