5. Order No WJZ/ 21087170 of the Minister for Agriculture, Nature Conservation and Food Quality of [date] amending the Order implementing the Fertiliser Act in connection with the amendment of Articles 6 and 77, the addition of certain substances to Annex Aa, the amendment of Annexes EA, H, I and M and certain technical amendments

6. Authorisation of six residual substances that can be traded as fertiliser; authorisation of three residual substances that can be used in fertiliser production; authorisation of a number of substances as end products from treatment processes that can be traded as fertiliser; amendment of the definitions of two residual substances.

7. -

8. The amendments to Annex Aa may contain technical regulations.
Annex Aa is a list of residual streams, which can be used as fertiliser or as codigestion material. The Decree implementing the Fertilisers Act [Uitvoeringsbesluit Meststoffenwet] sets out general frameworks that these substances must meet for inclusion on this list. The Fertiliser Act Expert Commission [CDM] makes an assessment based on a file submitted by the applicant. After this assessment, the Minister may decide to add a residual substance to Annex Aa.

The text does not include a reciprocity provision. This is because Annex Aa contains a general description of a residual substance, and these residual substances are not subject to any specific national requirements. Thus, a reciprocity provision does not apply here.

9. The exhaustive list of residual substances given in Annex Aa is intended to protect the environment. Setting regulations on substances that can be used as codigestion materials protects the interests of the environment, and more specifically the objectives of the Nitrates Directive. The technical requirements are non-discriminatory because they apply to all parties participating in the fertiliser trade. In addition, the technical requirements are suitable and necessary because a general description of the residual substances in Annex Aa (without setting further specific national requirements) prevents parties trading all manner of residual substances as fertiliser and using these substances in fertiliser production. This allows the authorities to monitor the substances being used as fertiliser and prevent environmental damage. The overriding reasons here are protecting the environment and meeting the objectives of the Nitrates Directive. Thus, inclusion of a general description of the residual substances in Annex Aa, without setting further specific requirements, is the least restrictive means to achieve the objectives of the Nitrates Directive and, precisely because of the general description of the residual substances, does not go beyond what is necessary to protect the public interest in preventing pollution.
