Flemish Government Negotiated 571 Million Euro 3M Settlement
The Flemish government entered an agreement with the company 3M in July 2022 to address environmental issues. The settlement includes 571 million euros, with 250 million euros specifically allocated for soil decontamination. Reports suggest the Flemish government may have been aware of the situation since at least 2017 but initially suppressed the matter. The scandal was originally revealed by the Flemish press in 2021. Noëlle suggested the settlement amount may not be sufficient to cover the actual costs.
