Assessment of topics with regard to specific agricultural use in the Netherlands

In additin to the national specific elements that are assessed, if relevant (leaching to groundwater, wind speed and drinking water from surface water) there are also a number of more technical topics related to specific agricultural use in the Netherlands . If the evaluating Member State applies different agricultural principles compared to the Netherlands, these topics must be assessed for the application in the Netherlands. Although common practice for many years, the topics (if this is not already the case) need to be included in the evaluation manual.
