| Research Abstract |
The EU has sought to reduce water pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources through the Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC).
The various steps of implementation of the Directive are :
1.Detection of polluted or threatened waters (1 year monitoring)
2.Designation of "vulnerable zones" (NVZs)
3.Codes of good agricultural practice
4.Action Programs within NVZs
5.National monitoring and reporting every 4 years
6.Assessment of Action Programs impact
7.Revision of NVZs and Action Programs
The Nitrates Directive was an important step in the development of water policy of the EU.
