Pays/Territoire Royaume-Uni Sous-division territoriale Northern Ireland Type du document Règlement Date 1999 Source FAO, FAOLEX Sujet Agriculture et développement rural, Terre et sols, Eau Mot clé Lutte contre la pollution Pollution du sol/qualité Engrais/nutriments Exploitation agricole Développement agricole Pollution des eaux douces Aire géographique Îles de l'Océan Atlantique, Europe, Europe et Asie Centrale, Atlantique Nord, Mer du Nord, Atlantique du Nord-Est, Europe du Nord Entry into force notes Coming into force on 1 March 1999. Résumé Regulation 2(3) replaces existing regulation 3 of the 1996 Regulations with a new regulation setting out the duty in the Directive to identify nitrate polluted waters and to designate as nitrate vulnerable zones all known areas of land which drain into the identified waters and contribute to the nitrate pollution. The designation of nitrate vulnerable zones has to be reviewed every 4 years and revised and added to if necessary. To avoid having to amend regulation 3 every time there is a review new regulation 3 imposes a duty to carry out the reviews and adjustments to the nitrate vulnerable zone designations but provides for the actual designations to be made pursuant to the regulation rather than by means of setting out the designations in the regulation itself. Regulation 2(4) replaces existing regulation 5 of the 1996 Regulations with a new regulation. Existing regulation 5 establishes the code of good agricultural practice required by the Directive. New regulation 5 instead sets out the duty to establish the code rather than establishing the code itself. Regulation 2(7) inserts a new Schedule into the 1996 Regulations containing the provisions which have to be contained in the Code.
