Welsh Conservative Shadow Farming Minister Andrew RT Davies has called for changes to water pollution regulations in Wales to be implemented quickly.
Rural Affairs Minister Llyr Gruffydd has indicated Welsh Government will move from rigid “farming by calendar” rules to a more scientific based approach.
But Mr Davies warned the changes must be implemented quickly, to enable them to come into force this winter.
He said failure to do so would be “too late” for Welsh farmers.
Mr Davies said:
“The current approach to water pollution regulations is not working.
“The move to a scientific based approach needs to start now so that it’s in force this winter.
“If the new Plaid Cymru separatist administration fails to do so, it will be too late.”
