欧盟提议,在批准之前,将爱尔兰农民的硝酸盐使用期限延长三年。 EU proposes 3-year nitrates rule extension for Irish farmers, pending approval.

欧洲联盟委员会提议,在12月9日欧盟硝酸盐委员会批准之前,将爱尔兰的硝酸盐减让期延长三年,允许农民采用更高的氮施用率。 The European Commission has proposed a three-year extension of Ireland’s nitrates derogation, allowing higher nitrogen application rates for farmers, pending approval by the EU Nitrates Committee on December 9. 此举支持爱尔兰的草根农作制度, 并关注透明度问题, 因为特定条件仍不向民选官员及农耕团体披露。 The move supports Ireland’s grass-based farming system and comes amid concerns over transparency, as specific conditions remain undisclosed to elected officials and farming groups. 虽然政府和农业领导人欢迎这一延长对农村生计至关重要,但环境团体和一些政治家警告说,保障措施不足,并呼吁加强问责制。 While the government and agricultural leaders welcome the extension as vital for rural livelihoods, environmental groups and some politicians warn of insufficient safeguards and call for greater accountability. 最后条款将确定遵守情况,包括集水层环境评估和具体土地要求,农民需在12月16日前提交文件。 Final terms will determine compliance, including catchment-level environmental assessments and land-specific requirements, with farmers needing to submit documentation by December 16.
