".
The Commission does not plan to propose amendments to the Nitrates Directive, as it is convinced that its full implementation is crucial to reduce the impact of nutrients from agricultural sources on European waters.
We are fully committed to ensuring that the Nitrates Directive will be correctly implemented in the Member States with a set of actions including, as I mentioned before, legal pressure through infringement procedures for Member States that do not implement the different steps of the directive.
Significant steps have been taken by the Commission to support a better knowledge of the pressures on the environmental status of European waters through regular monitoring; reporting exercises; exchange of technical information and best practices with regard to agriculture and their impact on nutrient losses; and tools for measuring, modelling and forecasting their impact on water quality.
A relevant contribution to the implementation of the Nitrates Directive has also been made by including this directive in the codes of practice underpinning rural development since 2000 and, from 2005 onwards, under cross-compliance with direct payments to producers according to the new agricultural policy."@en1
