Nitrate sensitive areas

Description

The Nitrates Directive (Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources) requires the identification of vulnerable zones to nitrogen pollution in each Member State and the establishment of specific action programmes for these zones. Nitrate Vulnerable Zones in Sweden include: • Counties of Gotland, Stockholm and Södermanland • Parts of the counties of Skåne, Blekinge, Halland, Västra Götaland, Kalmar, Östergötland, Värmland, Örebro, Västmanland, Dalarna and Uppsala. For these areas, there are longer-term provisions to reduce nutrient losses from agriculture than in the rest of the country. The municipalities and parishes belonging to the vulnerable zone are specified in more detail in the Swedish Board of Agriculture’s regulations (SJVFS 2004:62) on environmental concerns in agriculture with regard to plant nutrients.
