Cabinet does not want to buy up small gas and oil fields itself

At the end of last year, the Groningen municipality of Westerkwartier suggested that the State buy up those fields. In this way, it provides residents with clarity. “We are not waiting for a party that pumps the field empty and does not take it so closely with the handling of the damage,” said alderman Westra to RTV North† “Then I would rather the State take responsibility. Our residents have already had enough to choose from in that regard.”
