Wijziging van de Meststoffenwet (invoering stelsel verantwoorde mestafzet)

This Dutch bill amends the Meststoffenwet (Fertiliser Act) to introduce a system for responsible disposal of manure (stelsel verantwoorde mestafzet). The aim is to better control where and how livestock manure is spread or transported, helping to reduce nutrient surpluses that harm soil, water and air quality. The procedure is a national legislative process in the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer). Livestock farmers and manure processors in the Netherlands are the most likely to be affected, as the scheme would shape how manure is handled, recorded and disposed of. Authorities responsible for enforcing fertiliser rules may also see changes in their duties. Details depend on the final text, which this summary does not cover.
