The last sentence is very unlikely indeed - it will be regulations
introduced by our native bureaucrats.

EU directives almost invariably propose that there be adequate
regulations, and do not specify the details. Also, they are
typically proposed and agreed by the bureaucrats from member
states, and the UK is one of the more active in doing so. It
is an excellent way of introducing bureaucracy while putting the
blame on someone else.

If you have seen some of the storage facilities and the effect
of their run-off on local streams, you will know why tighter
regulations are needed. And the problem is getting worse, as
UK farming becomes more Americanised, including with feedlot
livestock fattening.
