AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager said on Thursday a new budget proposal, which has the support of a majority in parliament, will reduce the budget deficit in 2013 so that it meets the EU’s strict targets.
“At the request of the Lower House there have been intense discussions with all involved parties to come to a shared program of additional measures and meet the demands of the excessive deficit procedure,” De Jager said in a letter to parliament.
