How can we help?

As of 1 July 2026: companies may no longer call you without prior consent
Do you sell products or services via telemarketing in the Netherlands? Please note as of 1 July 2026, companies may no longer call consumers without prior consent. This also applies if someone is already a customer (or has been in the past). Exceptions apply only to: charities; lotteries that distribute proceeds to charitable causes; publishers of newspapers and magazines.This amendment further restricts unsolicited telephone marketing.
New EU rules against deforestation: is your company prepared?
Do you import or sell products such as cattle, palm oil, soy, cocoa, coffee, rubber, or timber (or products derived from these raw materials)? If so, you will be subject to new EU rules. Under the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), products may only be placed on the EU market if they do not originate from land deforested after 30 December 2020. The rules will apply from: 30 December 2026 for large enterprises and sole traders in the timber sector; 30 June 2027 for SMEs and other sole traders (except those in the timber sector). Ensure in due time that your supply chain complies with these requirements.
Home purchase: seller must disclose essential information
Are you buying a house? You may expect the seller to disclose material information. On 6 February 2026, the Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad der Nederlanden) held that a seller may, under certain circumstances, be required to inform the buyer on their own initiative that permits have already been granted for a nearby development that could negatively affect the value of the property. If the seller fails to do so, they may be liable. If it is established that you would have purchased the house at a lower price had you known this information, you may be entitled to claim compensation for the difference. The fact that the development is later cancelled and the property subsequently increases in value does not alter the initial loss.
