Nieuwsuur (2010) : 16x310

Companies in Trouble. If the Netherlands isn’t careful, one industrial company after another will move abroad. Many Dutch companies are struggling, the industry warns. One of the biggest problems: energy prices in the Netherlands are much higher than in competing countries. But that’s not the only issue.

Joining the discussion are three major players in the Dutch economy: Cindy Kroon, CEO of Vattenfall; Victor van der Chijs, chairman of the business association Deltalinqs; and Koos van Haasteren, CEO of Chemelot.
