Wijziging van de Gaswet en Mijnbouwwet in verband met de beëindiging van de gaswinning uit het Groningenveld

This Dutch bill, before the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer), would change the Gas Act and the Mining Act to formally end natural gas production from the Groningen gas field. The field, one of Europe's largest, has caused earthquakes in the north of the Netherlands, and its closure is a major energy and safety decision. Based on the title only, the bill sets the legal framework for that wind-down. Residents of Groningen and surrounding provinces, gas companies operating in the field, and households and businesses that rely on natural gas are likely to be most affected. The bill may also affect energy supply planning and compensation for earthquake damage. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
