Policy Area (PA) ‘Nutri’ aims at reducing nutrient inputs to the sea to acceptable levels.
PA Nutri actions concentrate on promoting measures and practices that support nutrient recycling and reduce nutrient losses, as well as on promoting cost-efficient nutrient removal and sustainable sludge handling in waste-water treatment. Dialogue among all sectors, reliable nutrient load data, cooperation with non-EU Member States and investigation on cost-efficient nutrient reduction mechanisms are required in order to meet the set targets.
PA Nutri is coordinated by Finland and Poland.
