THE HAGUE (Reuters) – will be next Thursday at senior official level will consult on the impact of the Russian sanctions for Europe The EU countries. Minister Henk Kamp and State Secretary of Economic Affairs Sharon Dijksma writing that Monday in a letter to the Lower House.
It is still not clear what the consequences of the Russian import ban on European vegetables, fruits, dairy products and meat. The government feels is not for the Netherlands only to respond to sanctions or to decide on compensation measures. That kind of issues should be discussed at European level.
Certain sectors hit hard
It is clear that the European agricultural exports for about one tenth are exports to Russia. The Dutch agricultural exports to Russia occupies a smaller part of the total Dutch agricultural exports value: 1.9 percent. That does not mean that some sectors and businesses can be hit hard by the Russian measures writing Kamp and Dijksma. This applies to entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector, but also for transport.
The CDA is dissatisfied with the letter from the cabinet and lacks concrete actions. ,, It is incomprehensible that the government takes such a wait-and laconic attitude while our SMBs are pressed into a crisis in the agricultural sector ‘, says CDA MP Jacco Geurts. ,, If the Netherlands does not act quickly operators will bear the brunt of the quarrel between the EU and Russia. We’re not talking about losing but about bankruptcies. “
