The Nitrates Directive, the Directive on Sustainable Use of Pesticides and the WFD tackle diffuse sources of pollution. Measures taken have led only to slightly positive trends on nutrient pollution (EC, 2017), and the overall level of diffuse pollution from agriculture remains high in parts of Europe. Measures are necessary and need to be more sufficiently implemented. The measures already implemented in Member States could be differentiated in management related measures, technical measures and measures to increase awareness for farmers and other stakeholders.
