Minister Christianne van der Wal (nitrogen) does not see 2030 as the most important, always the subject of the nitrogen debate. He wants to see how nature’s recovery progresses in 2025 and 2028, and “if things go in the right direction, 2030 will be less and less important.”
“We always talk about the final destination,” says Van der Wal, but “way stations” are more important to him. It then means the two measurement times that the nitrogen mediator Johan Remkes mentions in his final report.
It remains to be seen whether the year 2030, when nitrogen emissions should be halved in 2025 and 2028, will be respected everywhere, or whether more space will be offered in certain areas.
“allow space”
Van der Wal would be “willing to do something to talk about what is really needed now, not about years; This means that by finally restoring nature we have room for permits for PAS reporters, but also for, for example, a farmer who wants. to move his business and build a new barn.”
Meanwhile, the VVD Minister says that the coalition agreement is still ahead for him. In it, the VVD, D66, CDA and ChristenUnie agreed to cut nitrogen emissions in half from 2035 to 2030, but Van der Wal hopes a tentative decision can be made to change the controversial year, say those who oppose nitrogen policy. t possible, lower it.
“Low Pit”
An exciting debate begins this afternoon in the House of Representatives about the complex four-party agreement reached on Friday. This means that nitrogen policy will be suspended until it is clear what agreements will be reached by coalitions that have not yet been formed in the federal states.
The CDA has been struggling with the year in the coalition deal for some time now. Party leader Hoekstra said in August last year that the appointment was “unholy” for him. In his state election campaign, he also regularly referred to the Remkes report, along with its two milestones.
