• Fit for use approach
• Risk-based (human; ecology; spreading)
• Annual budget about 500 million Euro

Future developments
• Site remediation is no longer a political and social issue in NL;
• EU approach is based on soil threats (negative)
• To maintain and develop sustainable soil management it is necessary to link soil to the big issues (positive)
• Go with the flow
Follow the EU?
