Recital 16

(16) Land application of RENURE fertilisers remains subject to the requirements for the application of all fertilisers (balanced fertilisation) set out Annex III, point 1(3), to Directive 91/676/EEC. As RENURE fertilisers are intended to substitute chemical fertilisers, the limitations on fertiliser use in accordance with the principle of balanced fertilisation as applied in the Member State concerned may need to be reviewed in the context of the decision to allow RENURE fertilisers to take this into account. Possible additional environmental pressures resulting from the application of RENURE fertilisers, in particular following their autumn application on arable crops, need to be taken into account and appropriate measures taken in the respective action programmes, in particular with regard to the limitation of land application of fertilisers. Good agri-environmental practices should therefore be observed, such as living vegetation covers or equivalent measures, to prevent losses of nitrogen to the environment. These requirements should therefore be set out.
