Despite Minister Dedonder’s decision, Deputy Sabine Lahaye-Battheu wants to continue with the plans for reconversion. “We want to continue with this, also to prevent all the work that has been delivered from disappearing. I once checked the cost price so far, which is 700,000 euros. And that does not even include the costs of our own people. There a lot of energy has been put into this.
Consultation between all parties should provide more clarity. “We hope that we will have a good consultation and that we will get more clarity about what exactly has changed. And how our plans are still consistent with what Defense is now suddenly saying,” concludes Lahaye – Battheu.
