Correction sheet for the Danish derogation report 2021
The following describes a correction of the Danish derogation report from 2021.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency was informed by the Danish
Agricultural Agency of an error in the compiled data from fertilizer accounts from
the period 2019/2020. Instead of using the reported amount of consumed
phosphor from chemical fertilizers, the amount of phosphor from chemical
fertilizers which had been bought was used when calculating the average P-ceiling,
kg P/ha agricultural area and kg P/ha harmony area.
The use of the bought amount of phosphor has resulted in a seemingly higher
consumption of phosphor reported for the period 2019/2020 than had been used
by Danish farmers.
Table 1.1
shows the amount originally reported to the
European Commission in 2021, while
Table 1.2
shows the corrected amounts.
According to the Danish Agricultural Agency, this discrepancy has not had any
consequences regarding the control of or sanctions for Danish farmers.
