allot to Glastuinbouw Nederland , the extroverted cabinet ’s Budget Day proposals subvert the gardening sphere ’s security department of existence . As a result , vegetable , yield , peak , and plants will become even more expensive in the Netherlands . The advocacy radical calls for a profound reappraisal of the current degressive energy tax organization .
Unaffordably healthy and greenOn Prinsjesdag , or Budget Day , the storage locker finally presented the controversial Fiscal Measures for Horticulture Act . With this jurisprudence , the government require to phase out both the reduce horticulture rate and the CHP stimulation freedom between 2025 and 2030 . Glastuinbouw Nederland is very concerned about the increased core these proposal will station on cultivator . Indeed , on behalf of the Lower House and the agriculture ministry , Wageningen Economic Research ( WEcR ) previously discover that this would increase the full load on growers from € 24 million in 2019 to € 740 million in 2030 . The novel study by Trinomics on behalf of the Ministry of Finance also confirms this unprecedented wallop despite a gradual introduction of these measures until 2030 . Ignoring this impact on food and greenish output in the Netherlands , the government is push ahead without delay .
Adri Bom - Lemstra , President of the United States of Horticulture Netherlands : " These measures put an end to smaller , medium - sized and extensive family farms . For one-half of the Dutch cultivator , it will become unprofitable to still grow tomato , peppers , cucumber , strawberries , and other soft fruit or flowers and plants . Where vigor monetary value rise two to sometimes five times , these cost can be passed on to consumers to a modified extent . Abolishing the horticultural tariff and curtailing the CHP input signal exemption , therefore , particularly suppress mood frontrunners in growing healthy and green products on Dutch soil . Healthier food and a unripe environment thus become even more unaffordable for citizens , and growers finish up in the red . "
The muscularity transition in reverseHorticulture has had its own CO2 sector arrangement for ten years , the first sphere to do so . Recently , this system was revised by the government and the sphere with the Convenant Energietransitie Glastuinbouw 2022 - 2030 , with a more challenging climate aim and a strong inducement for individual cultivator to green their greenhouses and save even more energy . Just like EU ETS . The sector system thus secures our climate target in 2030 and climate neutrality in 2040 . The additional policy is , therefore , not needed . What is needed is a stable insurance that continue to offer cultivator prospects for the futurity and legal action to ensure financially healthy horticulture , as concord with the government in the covenant .
Bom - Lemstra : " That agreement is under great force per unit area . Not only do these step be small and more across-the-board troupe their support , but they also make investing in the energy transition out of the question for those who remain . The accord remainder between standardisation , CO2 pricing , and energy - saving incentives is now unquestionably lost . Whether this insurance helps the transition at all is open to debate . To survive in this degressive vigor taxation organisation it forces extensive growers to use more free energy , making develop cheaper . That is the DOE changeover in setback ! "
Proposal : the energy taxation system throw off upAway from fossil subsidy and towards a comely DOE tax scheme . That is what the Netherlands and Gastuinbouw Nederland want . With a flat(ter ) vim revenue enhancement organisation , everyone - from citizens to industry - pay the same amount for their instinctive gas and electricity . A fairer system in which exemptions for industries evaporate : every kilogram of CO2 emissions is recompense equally . Additional CO2 pricing can be applied per sphere so that each sector actually achieves its CO2 reducing butt . Although every kg of CO2 has an equal effect on climate change , the cost of CO2 reduction varies greatly from one sector to another . The level of this additional monetary value incentive is determined based on the measures and investment require to foregather this sphere - specific mood target . This creates the correct price incentive that ensure mood aim are meet and avoids unnecessary costs for business .
" If the government really wants to act on the vigor transition , the tax system necessitate a fundamental shake - up instead of this panic football . A flatter energy taxation that communicates with subsist system like ETS and our CO2 sphere organisation hand entrepreneurs action and succeeding view in the Netherlands ' green economy . Until then , the reduced horticultural duty and the CHP stimulus immunity continue the ring - aids in the current degressive system to preclude food and green impoverishment . It is now more important than ever that food and decorative crops remain affordable for citizen . That too is fair climate policy , " Bom - Lemstra called on the business community and NGOs to work together on a fair pricing policy .
