[HTML][HTML] What is the deal with the Green Deal: Will the new strategy help to improve European freshwater quality beyond the Water Framework Directive?
Agricultural land use covers almost half of the EU territory and reducing nutrient and
pesticide losses to freshwaters is central to existing EU policy. However, the progress of …
