Nitrates Derogation and Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Harris:

I will take this question. The evaluation was based on a lifecycle analysis of nitrogen in the cycle. The methodology was undertaken during the evaluation period. That calculation, as I understand it, would have been included in it. We can clarify this point and respond later to the Senator, but I am sure that aspect was included in the calculation of the existing bands in the context of the next programme.
