We will see later that further
reforms to the CAP in the late
1980’s (that offered subsidies to
farmers who reduced livestock
density, decreased fertilizer use
or switched to organic farming
or other extensive forms of
production), some National
control measures introduced by
individual member states,
and the introduction in 1991 of the
Nitrate
Directive,
are having some effects.
Annex 11 of the Nitrate directive
outlines Code(s)
of Good
Agricultural Practice with the objective of reducing
pollution
by nitrates.
