Dijsselbloem Strict Towards NS

As the only share holder of NS, Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem wants to be more strict towards the railway company. He announced this during his weekly interview at RTLZ. Dijsselbloem spoke about the meeting he had on Monday afternoon with NS chairman Bert Meerstadt. Dijsselbloem says that he doesn’t want to be informed anymore by the NS when they have made a decision already, but that he wants to be informed before a decision is made. “The NS has to consult the share holder in a much earlier stage and I am going to be sure, by myself, that this will not be forgotten.” As the only share holder, Dijsselbloem thinks, that he should also must have his hands on the wheel, especially during important decisions. He also stated that he is not going to let himself hurry up concerning the final decision about the Fyra project. It is clear that there are some technical failures, but he also wants to investigate all the juridical and financial consequences. “You can count on it that there will be lawsuits,” Dijsselbloem says. He hopes that the government can make their final decision on Friday.
