HOOGMADE - Cows are in the pasture at a farmer's. Farmers and businesses that emit large amounts of nitrogen will soon be able to make use of the attractive buy-out scheme for so-called 'peak polluters'. The European Commission has approved the plans. These buy-out plans concern some 3,000 dairy farms, pig farms, veal calf farms, and poultry farms. ROBIN UTRECHT /ANP netherlands out - belgium out
