With Much Chagrin, a majority of the house of representatives Seems prepared to support the pas approach of outgoing nitrogen minister Femke Wiersma. Most Parties Find the Plans Presented Insufficient. But at the moment, there is Nothing Better.
“I Don’t Feel Like We’ve Done Anything Good For The Netherlands Today,” CDA Member of Parliament Eline Vedder Said Wednesday During the Debate in the House of Representatives.
The Lack of Enthusiasm for this approach was Already evident last week. It could not be continued then to lack of time.
Wiersma Acknowled Directly on Wednesday That Her Law is “Not a Total Solution.” Accordance to her, this is a broading of the approach. “We all need that,” she said.
The outgoing minister Has a Law Ready to Take More Time to Find a Solution for the Small Four Thousand Pas Reporters. So there are no measures to reduce nitrogen emissions. That is essential to help the group of farmers who are now illegally doing business through no fault of their own because they have used the old nitrogen policy (pass).
Nitrogen Plans Hang Like the Sword of Damocles Above the Debate
Wiersma is working on a package of Measures to Reduce Nitrogen Emissions. Only she will present Them Next Week on Budget Day. That led to irritation among the opposition.
Accordance to CU Member of Parliament Pieter Grinwis, Those Plans Hang “Like A Sword of Damocles Above This Debate.” Everything Revolves Around the Question of WHETER WIERSMA Will Succed in Giving the Pas Reporters a Valid Permit.
D66, GroenLinks-Pvda, CDA and the Party for the Animals also Wanted to View the Nitrogen Package in Advance. They felt they could not have a full debate otherwise.
Wiersma Could Not Promise That. “I cannot anticipate that,” Said the Minister. She Asked the Parties for Patience. She Received that Patience the Members of Parliament Simply Have No Other Options.
The House Will Vote On The Pas Approach After Budget Day, which is next Tuesday. However, the Attention of the Parliamentarians Will then be Mainly Focused on the Nitrogen Plans. “I look forward to budget day, where we can count on a package that this house has been asking for a year and a half,” Said Vedder.
