The Dutch Fishermen’s Union (#NederlandseVissersbond) officially initiated legal proceedings against #3M over the severe PFAS contamination in the Western Scheldt river. This contamination has caused significant harm to the fishing industry, jeopardizing livelihoods and the safety of seafood from these waters. This is the first case in the Netherlands where a party is seeking compensation from 3M for PFAS pollution. Milberg Amsterdam is proud to represent the Fishermen’s Union in this landmark case, standing up for the rights of those whose livelihoods have been directly impacted by this contamination. This step was not taken lightly. After months of trying to engage constructively with 3M, the lack of a meaningful resolution left the Fishermen’s Union with no choice but to turn to the courts. We hope this case sets a precedent and brings much-needed accountability for the damage caused by PFAS contamination. https://lnkd.in/eArbtqbG
