It was stated that the Netherlands had not complied with these 1991 accords and has been recently forced to slash on use of fertilisers which release greenhouse gases. Last month the Dutch cabinet announced a $22 Bn programme focusing on cutting nitrogen emissions down by 50% by the year 2020, with further requiring 70% or more reduction in emissions in some areas.
