FRANCE-EU-ENVIRONMENT-FARMERS-DEMONSTRATION-NITRATES

Farmers stand near fire they lighted with straw and wooden pallets, early on January 16, 2013 in Paris, near the Agriculture ministry and the Prime Minister official residence, the Hotel Matignon, during a protest called by farmers union FNSEA against new constraints arising from the applications of European Union rules against nitrates. A new map identifies "vulnerable areas" to nitrates which require special protection to not pollute water resources. The board reads "Let us produce" and asks for the resignation of Agriculture minister Stephane Le Foll. AFP PHOTO MIGUEL MEDINA (Photo credit should read MIGUEL MEDINA/AFP via Getty Images)
