Court dismisses request to suspend gas approval, citing lack of concrete grounds for invalidity.

The court refused the Stichting Inwoners Groningen, Friesland en Drenthe's request to suspend the minister's approval of NAM's updated gas extraction plan. The foundation argued that the approval should not have been granted without a specific financial compensation scheme for local residents. The court rejected this, finding no concrete evidence that the approval would fail the statutory testing framework in the Mining Act.
