5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document:  Bekendtgørelse 
om brødhvede. (3 page (s), in Danish)  
6. Description of content:  The executive order establishes the criteria that cultivars of 
bread wheat must meet in order for companies, that are registered in "Register for 
Gødningsregnskab", to use the extra nitrogen standard quota for br ead wheat, cf. the 
applicable executive order on "jordbrugets anvendelse af gødning 
(gødskningsbekendtgørelsen)".   
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  There are different nitrogen standard quotas for diffe rent soil types and 
crops. Wheat that will be used for bread making requires more nitrogen than wheat that 
will be used for feed. Those who wish to cultivate bread wheat can therefore use a higher 
nitrogen standard quota, if the requirements for cultivatio n of bread wheat are met. The 
rules governing cultivation of bread wheat can be found in Section 4 in the executive 
order "gødskningsbekendtgørelsen". The purpose of "bekendtgørelse om brødhvede" is G/TBT/N/DNK/124  
 
- 2 - 
 
  to ensure that the higher nitrogen standard quota is give n to bread wheat with a high 
cultivation stability and thus ensure that the bread wheat will be used for bread making. 
The draft contains a revision of the criteria for adding cultivars of bread wheat on the

"gødskningsbekendtgørelsen". The bread wheat list is attached. Protection of the
