(a)for the first 4 year action programme an amount of manure containing up to 210 kg N may be allowed;
(b)during and after the first 4 year action programme, different amounts from those referred to above may be fixed. These amounts must be fixed so as not to prejudice the achievement of the Objectives and must be justified on the basis of objective criteria, for example—
long growing seasons,
crops with high nitrogen uptake,
high net precipitation in the vulnerable zone,
