Busy Wiebes transfers tasks

Minister Eric Wiebes (Economic Affairs) is so busy with the problems surrounding gas production in Groningen and the transition to more sustainable energy that work is likely to remain.

Besides Groningen and the fight against climate change, innovation was also a topic that Wiebes wanted to give full attention to. That is too much of a good thing. That is why from now on it is State Secretary Keijzer who has to drive innovation in the Dutch economy.

Keijzer, who is responsible for SMEs, post and telecom for example in Economic Affairs, also takes over the space travel from her minister.
