5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document:  Bekendtgø relse 
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 bread wheat, cf. the 
applicable executive orde r 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 different soil types and 
crops. Wheat that will b e 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 cultivation of bread wheat are met. The 
rules governin g cultivation of bread wheat can be found in Section 4 in the executive 
order "gødskningsbekendtgørelsen".  
The purpose of "bekendtgørelse om brødhvede" is to ensure that the higher nitrogen 
standard quota is given to bread wheat with a high cultivation sta bility 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 
bread wheat list, which can currently be found as appendix 1, table 3 to G/TBT/N/DNK/128
