There is much to say about these events, one sentence that caught my eye was: "Why are we so strict in Belgium and in the Netherlands? Because we are already exceeding the critical loads.”

The Netherlands is only the worlds second largest producer because it's counted in monetary value, and flowers are very expensive. A lot of figures on our -export- of agricultural production also count produce which is imported via Rotterdam harbour and the exported. The Netherlands is not that important at all.
