Recital 15

(15) Member States should therefore closely monitor the effect of the authorisation for the use of RENURE fertilisers above the amount of 170 kg nitrogen per hectare per year on overall livestock numbers and manure production. Where the nitrogen content of the total annual manure production per hectare of utilised agriculture area (UAA) is exceeding or at risk of exceeding 170 kg of nitrogen per hectare in the Member State as a whole or in the NUTS 2 regions where application of RENURE fertilisers is authorised, Member States should prevent any increase thereof in those regions, in order to ensure that it does not result in further unintended negative environmental effects.
