Camp looks forward to settling claims without NAM

the hague - Minister Henk Kamp of Economic Affairs would welcome it if the NAM, which wins in Groningen gas ' a step reset and not for the people in the picture for the settlement of the damage '' that caused by earthquakes. Camp responded to the news that the NAM now leaves the handling of earthquake damage to the National Coordinator of Groningen, Hans Alders.

Camp did not confirm Alders indeed responsible for claims handling and nothing to say about how this would work in practice. But it was clear to him that ' between the NAM and the person sustaining damage has had to change something, '' he said Friday. ' It's very bad for someone who has suffered having to go to that great company, a company that also is not equipped to handle it well. ''

' So we have several months been working to change that, '' says Kamp. He pointed out that the government control over the claims handling had drawn to itself in recent years. First the so-called Safe Living Center was charged with, where NAM still held a sizable finger in the pie. ' Now it is also possible to NAM to withdraw completely. ''

With the resignation of the NAM is a long-cherished wish of duped Groningen true. The Dutch Safety Board (OVV) Thursday already concluded that the settlement should be no room for interference by NAM.
