Nitrates Derogation and Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion
Mr. John Enright:
I will read out the decision from Brussels on the nitrates derogation. It states:
98,5 % of all monitoring stations for groundwater in Ireland had mean nitrate concentrations below 50 mg/l, and 81,5 % of those monitoring stations had mean nitrate concentrations below 25 mg/l. All monitoring stations for surface water in Ireland had mean nitrate concentrations below 50 mg/l ...
I emphasise it states "all" stations.
