Effects of Water Quality Regulation by European Union on Agriculture in Member States

我们考察了欧盟水框架指令对成员国农业的影响。第一江河流域管理计划(2009-2015年)只将执行现有指令和支付环境费用作为农业部门的措施方案。因此，实施这些计划不会对农场产生立竿见影的效果。然而，成员国的预测表明，为了实现《水框架指令》的目标，对农场进行补充管理是不可避免的。这些规定的成本很高，而且在某些地区很难引入。

We examined the effects of EU Water Framework Directive on agriculture in member states. First River Basin Management Plans (2009-2015) only include the implementation of existing Directives and environmental payments as programme of measures for the agricultural sector. Therefore, implementing the plans will not have immediate effects on farms. Forecasts by member states, however, indicate that supplementary regulations to farms are inevitable in order to achieve objectives of the Water Framework Directive. The regulations are costly and difficult to introduce in some areas.
