Yet our own government here and department are regulating us to start using protected urea.

for the simple reason I stated already it's zero ammonia emissions and we have an issue with ammonia emissions in the country a lot of that comes from farming so we have incorporated new technology with protected urea and low emission slurry spreading that is vastly reducing the amount of ammonia emissions that are coming from the farming sector so our policy here is to use protected urea that reduces those ammonia emissions but at EU level they're talking about increasing the production of can which doesn't reduce ammonia emissions so

I suppose we'd be hoping that our Minister for Agriculture can stress the need that we need urea, protected urea produced within the EU to give us our own sovereignty as regards fertiliser within the EU.
