CCB has issued a communicate to the HELCOM HOD 48-2015, 10-11 June 2015 - "Scope of the review and updating of HELCOM Annex III - proposals for amendments to Annex III, part II, Prevention of pollution from agriculture". Coalition Clean Baltic would like to suggest the following proposals for consideration in the process of reviewing and updating process of Annex III, Part II, Prevention of pollution from agriculture:

  1. In order to proceed with the review process in time as agreed by 2013 HELCOM Ministerial Meeting it would be advisable that Heads of Delegation consider and decide on the scope of the review, taking into account the outcome of HELCOM AGRI 2-2015 (cf. doc 3-22, para 2.8).
  2. Content-wise, based on the discussions at HELCOM AGRI 2-2015 that the priority will be given to the themes of nutrient recycling, bookkeeping and manure nutrient content, the following proposals are suggested for consideration by experts: under point 7, adding: introduce annual nutrient accounting/bookkeeping at farm/field level, and calculation of nutrient surplus levels (as kg N / ha, y and kg P / ha, y ); the full content of nutrients in manure will be forwarded as input to the nutrient accounting at farm/field level; introduce national tolerable nutrient surplus levels for nitrogen and phosphorus, to reduce nutrient surplus in fertilization practices to reach nutrient balanced fertilization.
