UE schimbă regulile pentru fermele de porci și păsări din România

The European Commission has introduced new environmental requirements for large pig and poultry farms, impacting their economic viability based on existing technologies and necessary investments. Compliance deadlines range from 2030 to 2032, depending on farm size. The regulations aim to reduce ammonia emissions and manage waste effectively, with significant investments potentially required. Approximately 38,500 farms are affected, while smaller farms remain exempt. The Commission estimates annual costs of up to 701 million euros, though these may be overstated. The directive includes specific criteria for farm inclusion based on livestock units, allowing flexibility in compliance methods.
