lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, pursuant to the implementation of the Nitrates Directive, the agricultural sector in my constituency, as elsewhere, is being subjected to extensive capital expenditure for the purpose of radically increasing slurry storage capacity. To assist, a UK Government scheme of grant aid was announced, with applications possible until the end of this month. Then, unilaterally, the same department announced earlier this month that the scheme was closing, because the amount designated – a mere GBP 45 million – was already over-subscribed. Farmers who in good faith were working to the stipulated deadline are quite clearly disadvantaged. The justification for the aid, namely the necessity to undertake excessively expensive work, still exists. The assistance, however, has now been withdrawn. This is as unfair as the GBP 45 million was patently inadequate. I therefore use this forum tonight to call on the UK Government to release sufficient funds to enable this essential work to be done, otherwise the implementation of the Nitrates Directive will be impossible."@en1
