Experts investigate Groningen gas damage

Minister Henk Kamp from Economic Affairs has requested the NAM to appoint three experts as soon as possible to review the most urgent cases of damage, caused by gas drilling in Groningen, according to a letter he wrote to Parliament on Wednesday. The NAM is in the process of setting up a special fund for exceptional cases, but in the meantime Kamp wants the experts to start with the reviews. Economic Affairs Minister Henk Kamp
