Germany and the Netherlands want to work together on offshore

According to Scholz and Rutte, other topics at the government consultations, which included Economics Minister Robert Habeck, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Finance Minister Christian Lindner and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, included the competitiveness of the EU, the fight against climate change and migration issues. Scholz repeatedly thanked the Netherlands for enabling Germany to switch from Russian gas to other suppliers in 2022. The reason for this is that the Netherlands had not stopped producing gas near Groningen in order to be able to supply Germany, despite the domestic political debate about earthquake risks.
