Overijssel suspends trade in nitrogen rights: ‘Also in the interest of entrepreneurs’ | Zwolle

This change of course is a major blow in the face of approximately fifty Overijssel farmers and (road) construction companies who have plans for expansion of stables, new construction projects or the construction of roads. In order to get started with this, they must apply for a nature permit from the province. In this they record that their project does not increase the nitrogen precipitation on protected nature areas in the area. Until now, this was possible by buying unused nitrogen rights from farmers or companies that stopped.
