Debate - Building on the Report of the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry
On Friday, the 24th of February, the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry on Gas Production Groningen (PEAG) presented the report "Groningers over Gas" in Zeerijp. Extensive research was conducted. Between June and October 2022, public hearings took place in which a total of 68 people were questioned. After this, the committee began drafting the final report. As the Knowledge Platform, we wanted to discuss the report and its recommendations. Therefore, on Monday, the 6th of March, in the auditorium of the Academy Building, we held a debate in which we interpreted, reflected and discussed the gas extraction case together with several speakers.
