(Translated) What steps does the Welsh Government take to ensure the effective enforcement of nitrate vulnerable zones?

Nitrate vulnerable zones no longer exist in Wales. The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 were introduced last year to tackle agricultural pollution and are subject to enforcement by Natural Resources Wales and by the Rural Inspectorate Wales, through cross-compliance.   

(Translated) Will the Minister make a statement on the Welsh Government’s strategy for rural development?

Our strategy for rural development is focused on delivering Programme for Government commitments.  Through ongoing EU funding until 2023, coupled with replacement domestic funding, we will embed our response to climate change in everything we do; transition to a new system of farm support; and, acknowledge ecologically sustainable food production.
