Netherlands Won’t Block EU Recovery Plan, German Envoy Says
Jul.12 -- Michael Roth, Germany's Europe Secretary, spoke to Bloomberg News in Berlin on July 10, ahead of the European Summit next week, during which Germany will try to come to an agreement on the proposed €750 billion recovery fund for the EU. Roth also said that he thinks the Dutch would not "stand in the way of a compromise" as the member states try and agree on a stimulus package to help the regions most affected by the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown.
