The news comes a year after the parliament's Lower House agreed to sell the government's minority share in the group.In a statement, Schiphol Group expressed its satisfaction that the amendment had finally been ratified. "Clarity from the Dutch parliament has finally been provided for both the company and its employees on the company's future," said the group.
