Wijziging van de Gaswet en van de Mijnbouwwet betreffende het minimaliseren van de gaswinning uit het Groningenveld

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This legislative amendment updates the Gas Act and the Mining Act to facilitate the reduction and eventual cessation of natural gas extraction from the Groningen field. It aims to address safety concerns and mitigate the risk of earthquakes caused by drilling activities in the region. This primarily affects gas extraction companies and residents of the Groningen province. It changes the legal framework governing how gas is extracted and managed to prioritize regional stability over production.
