Denmark will not look to retain its Nitrates Derogation this summer, leaving Ireland as an outlier in seeking to retain its Derogation.
The Danish Environmental Ministry has told farmers that overall, Denmark has not managed to reduce the discharge of nutrients to coastal waters in the last 10-15 years.
