At least one in three Dutch entrepreneurs back the ‘neuro’

At least one in three Dutch entrepreneurs think the eurozone should be restricted to northern countries, according to two new research projects.


Just over half Dutch entrepreneurs back continuing with the euro in its present form, according to a survey of 500 company bosses by business website Z24.
Almost 30% opt for the neuro option – they would like to continue with the euro but restrict the eurozone to northern countries only. The rest would like to leave the eurozone with or without Germany, the poll shows.
Other research by the Panteia bureau published on Monday concluded 38% of entrepreneurs would like the eurozone to be smaller while one in 10 would like to step out of the single currency system.
The Z24 poll also showed Mark Rutte, leader of the right-wing VVD, is by far the most popular choice as prime minister under entrepreneurs. Second on the list is Hans Wijers, former CEO of Akzo Nobel and a prominent D66 supporter.
The VVD has the support of nearly 53% of the company bosses who took part. D66 is second on 10% and the anti-European PVV third with 8% support.
