The government has taken additional measures to support entrepreneurs because of the economic consequences of the corona virus. Minister Eric Wiebes and State Secretary Mona Keijzer of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) and State Secretary Hans Vijlbrief (Finance) announced this in a letter to Parliament on Tuesday.

Taxi operators last Monday submitted a petition to State Secretary Keijzer of Economic Affairs and Climate to claim the Entrepreneurs Affected Sectors Allowance (TOGS). As spokespersons, Hedy Borremans (TCA) and Marcel Chandrikapersad (UTC) knocked on the door of the government via State Secretary Mona Keijzer (CDA) attention to ask for the worrying financial position they are in by COVID-19.

In addition, the premium for the extended scheme Guarantee for small and medium-sized enterprises (BMKB) decreased. The government will also reinsure supplier credit up to an amount of twelve billion euros. In addition, more companies will receive a one-off gift as a contribution to the consequences of measures taken by the government to combat the corona virus: efforts are being made to open this specific extension on 15 April 2020. Minister Eric Wiebes and State Secretary Mona Keijzer of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) and State Secretary Hans Vijlbrief (Finance) today announced this in a Letter to Parliament announced.

“The cabinet is doing what is necessary in these exceptional and harsh times. When we announced the Emergency Jobs and Economy Package, we immediately said that these arrangements are ongoing. The government's extended health measures have a greater, direct impact on groups of entrepreneurs. That is why we are once again making billions in support available, ”said Minister Wiebes and State Secretary Keijzer (EZK).

The government's health measures, which have been extended until 28 April 2020, have direct consequences for revenues in a number of specific sectors. For example, due to the forced closure of food and beverage outlets and events, the ban on contact professions in the field of grooming, cancellations in the travel industry due to the 'necessary travel only' advice for Dutch people and the obligation to keep a meter and a half away.
