The outgoing Schoof cabinet will soon close off no less than 24,000 hectares of seabed off the coast of South Holland and Zeeland to fishing. State Secretary Jean Rummenie (BBB) hopes this will resolve a years-long debate with environmental groups, fishermen, and the European Union, according to sources in The Hague told De Telegraaf.
