soil protection

There is no need for those countries that have clear soil protection to do it all over again.

Where is the justification for European regulations on soil protection?

For many in this Chamber, soil protection is a sore point.

However, none of these arguments means that soil protection should be a European task.

It provides a better soil protection, since there is a permanent tree cover.

There is no need for a framework directive on soil protection.

I do not believe that there is a need for additional legislation relating to soil protection.

In our amendments, we have concentrated to a very great extent on soil protection.

On the other hand, the directive offers a great opportunity to those countries which do not as yet have any soil protection regulation.

For more information on surveys, see the page in this guide: consider soil protection before construction begins.

That would increase the differences in soil protection legislation more than it would even them out.

I believe that soil protection should remain within the competence of Member States.

I therefore continue to believe that the Member States can regulate soil protection themselves.

These may be established for watershed or soil protection.

The new Member States already have national soil protection legislation that functions well.

However, we need effective soil protection with a shared timeframe and common criteria.

Nor can I accept the argument that the internal market is distorted by different national soil protection legislation.

In view of this state of affairs, sensible soil protection is especially necessary.

That applies in particular to soil protection, the regulation of watercourses and the local water systems.

You must also complete an annual template for cross compliance soil protection purposes.

I myself worked on the soil protection directive.

There must also be no attempt to use this directive to re-introduce the subject of soil protection by the back door.

The Directive also provides a coherent framework for existing legislation on soil protection.

Effective soil protection must, therefore, be carried out at the most suitable levels - at the regional or local level.

Adopting a framework directive on soil protection would be putting the cart before the horse.
