Paragraph 18
18. WelcomRecognises the Commission’s targetEU- wide goals of reducing, by 2030, the use of more hazardous and chemical pesticides by 50 %, the use of fertilisers by at least 20 % and nutrient losses by at least 50 % by 2030, which should be made bindingpesticides and fertilisers in order not only to reduce nutrients losses, but also to reduce contamination of waters and soil with for example nitrates, which, inter alia, causes algae spread in rivers, lakes, ponds, etc., thus severely compromising biodiversity; considers that this should be accomplished by binding and proportionate targets tailored to individual Member States’ practices; is of the opinion that nitrates present in the soil are best fixed by inter-crops (e.g. after wheat harvest, mustard is sown); therefore warns against leaving agricultural land completely abandoned (set-aside) due to increased risk of nitrates infiltration in waters and soil; considers that the derogation envisaged in Article 53(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 should be clarified and must only be applied for health and environmental reasons;
