Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Bekendtgørelse om brødhvede; (3 page(s), in Danish)

6.

Description of content: The executive order establishes the criteria that cultivars of bread wheat must meet in order for companies, that are registered in "Register for Gødningsregnskab", to use the extra nitrogen standard quota for bread wheat, cf. the applicable executive order on "jordbrugets anvendelse af gødning (gødskningsbekendtgørelsen)".

7.

Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: There are different nitrogen standard quotas for different soil types and crops. Wheat that will be used for bread making requires more nitrogen than wheat that will be used for feed. Those who wish to cultivate bread wheat can therefore use a higher nitrogen standard quota, if the requirements for cultivation of bread wheat are met. The rules governing cultivation of bread wheat can be found in Section 4 in the executive order "gødskningsbekendtgørelsen".

The purpose of "bekendtgørelse om brødhvede" is to ensure that the higher nitrogen standard quota is given to bread wheat with a high cultivation stability and thus ensure that the bread wheat will be used for bread making.

The draft contains a revision of the criteria for adding cultivars of bread wheat on the bread wheat list, which can currently be found as appendix 1, table 3 to "gødskningsbekendtgørelsen". The bread wheat list is attached. ; Protection of the environment
