Farmers commit to their cows to let loose hop in the pasture. Although the plan of the opposition last time still a majority could count in the House, the Labour Party now sees law as a last resort for free cow.
"The future of the Dutch livestock sector is not always further increase in scale, but produce responsible and sustainable. Cows belong in the pasture stand instead of a stable thereto, and this in the coming years also become more normal," said PvdA -Kamerlid Sjoera Dikkers.
Let farmers free
But she does not support the proposal SP, D66 and GroenLinks today submit to oblige farmers to legally put their cows in the pasture. "We prefer to accomplish this in collaboration with the farmers. Secretary Dijksma therefore puts everything to binding agreements on here with the livestock. If it continues to fail, a law may also help."
The VVD, also previously opposed the proposal, finds it "absurd" to control the grazing of cows in the law. "Farmers are well able to decide for themselves what is good for their business and their cows. Since the government should interfere as little as possible," said VVD MP Helma Lodders.
