Intent: To emphasise the importance of the Irish MEPs being part of the national effort to retain the current nitrates derogation. Ireland has a unique grass-based system and there must be recognition for this from the EU.::To highlight that over 30 measures have been introduced at farm level since 2020. These must be given time to work.::To highlight that one EU size does not fit all. Farmers need a period of certainty to justify making ongoing environmental investments.::To request that Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin clarify his party's position on the Nitrates derogation. This follows comments by Fianna Fail's candidate in the Dublin European constituency Barry Andrews on the RTE Prime Time debate.::To highlight that the candidate clearly said he does not support the continuation of the derogation. This is at odds with the position of the Fianna Fáil Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue. Fianna Fáil must clarify their position immediately so that farmers are well informed.::To em

Intent: To acknowledge the proposed revision of the Nitrates Directive announced by the European Commission to allow for an increase rate of 100kg /Ha of RENURE to be applied to land to increase nutrient circularity and improve on farm economics.::Given the increasing importance of digestate as a fertiliser, especially in the context of volatile mineral fertiliser prices and to the overall economics of Anaerobic Digestion Schemes, it is essential to ensure that the Nitrates Directive is amended in a suitable way that does not only promote the interests of a few member states with considerably larger capacities to refine manures.::The process of Anaerobic Digestion releases nutrient elements from feedstock previously bound up in complex organic compounds and thus are unavailable for plant uptake when material such as slurry is used as a fertilizer. Thus, the anaerobic digestion process not only produces a nutrient rich residual material which can be used as a fertilizer but increases nutrient a
