Article 12 Reporting
United Kingdom
The competent authorities shall submit every year by 30 June a report containing the following information:
maps showing the percentage of farms, percentage of livestock, percentage of agricultural land and local land use, as well as data on crop rotations and agricultural practices in derogation farms, referred to in Article 10(1);
the results of water monitoring, including information on water quality trends for ground, surface waters, and waters flowing to the North Sea, as well as the impact on derogation on water quality referred to in Article 10(2);
an evaluation of the nitrate residue in soil profile in autumn for the derogated parcels and a comparison with nitrate residue data and trends on non-derogated parcels for similar crop rotations. Non- derogated parcels should include non-derogated parcels on farms benefitting from a derogation and parcels on other farms;
information on nitrate and phosphorus concentration in water leaving the root zone and entering the groundwater and surface water system referred to in Article 10(6) and the results from the reinforced water monitoring in agricultural catchments in sandy soils referred to in Article 10(3);
the results of the surveys on local land use, crop rotations and agricultural practices, and the results of model-based calculations of the magnitude of nitrate and phosphorus losses from farms benefitting from an individual derogation, referred to in Article 10(5);
an evaluation of the implementation of the derogation conditions, on the basis of controls at farm and parcel level, as well as controls on manure transport, and information on non-compliant farms, on the basis of the results of the administrative and field inspections;
information on manure treatment, including further processing and utilisation of the solid fractions, and provide detailed data on the characteristics of treatments systems, their efficiency and composition of treated manure;
information on the amount of farms benefiting from derogation and derogated parcels on which treated manure and effluent with low nitrogen and phosphate content has been applied as well as their volumes;
the methodologies to assess the composition of treated manure, the variations in composition and treatment efficiency for each farm benefiting from individual derogation, referred to in Article 5(3);
the inventory of manure treatment installation referred to in Article 5(4);
a summary and an evaluation of data obtained from the monitoring sites referred to in Article 10(4);
data related to fertilisation in all farms which benefit from an individual derogation, including information on yields and on soil types;
trends in livestock numbers for each livestock category in Flanders region and in derogation farms.
The spatial data contained in the report shall, where applicable, fulfil the provisions of Directive 2007/2/EC. In collecting the necessary data, Belgium shall make use, where appropriate, of the information generated under the Integrated Administration and Control System established pursuant to Chapter II of Title V of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013.
