Report On implementation of Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources for the period 2000-2003.
REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
{SEC(2007)339}
The aim of the present report is to inform the European Parliament and the Council
on the state of the implementation of the Nitrates Directive, in accordance with its
article 11. It is based on the information transmitted by EU 15 Member States in the
period 2004-2006 (3rd reporting exercise 2000-2003) and is accompanied by
aggregated maps of pressure from nitrogen from agricultural sources, of water
quality data and of designated nitrate vulnerable zones. It, therefore, deals principally
with EU 15, but, in order to provide a wider picture, also includes an outline of steps
towards implementation in the enlarged European Union.
