IMG's New Damage Claim System in Groningen Faces Parliamentary Scrutiny
What happened
The Instituut Mijnbouwschade Groningen (IMG) is introducing a new damage claim approach in Groningen. Under this new method, once a customized damage claim is resolved, the file can be treated as effectively final. Regional authorities and municipalities are concerned that this could leave residents exposed to damage.
Why it matters
The Province of Groningen and five affected municipalities have urged the Dutch House of Representatives to prevent delays in the repair and strengthening program. They are concerned that the new approach could worsen bureaucracy and leave residents without clarity or recourse.
