Following the publication of Defra’s NVZ consultation, which proposes changes to some of the key measures and the designated areas introduced in 2008, the NFU has produced an initial briefing for members.
The briefing provides a breakdown of the consultation proposals, along with some NFU commentary. It is available to view in the Related documents section immediately above this article. A full draft NFU response to Defra’s consultation questions will follow shortly.
The details of the consultation are available on the Defra website here. The consultation is open for submissions until March 2012, with the results to be implemented from January 2013.
