Recital 3

(3) The Commission’s Joint Research Centre has assessed that under certain conditions RENURE fertilisers have a similar nitrogen leaching potential and agronomic efficiency to chemical fertilisers. These materials therefore reduce the risks of nitrate losses in water compared to manure and, thanks to this environmental advantage, they could be used above the maximum amount for manure application set out in Directive 91/676/EEC, while ensuring the achievement of the Directive’s objectives and adequate agronomic benefits (2).
