Networking reception | Thursday 1 December 2011 | London

The India networking reception offered great networking opportunities with companies already operating in the Netherlands or seeking the same opportunities. Our keynote speaker, Mr Maarten Leen, Head of Macro and Consumer Economics ING Group, graced the room with a very informative speech on economic developments in Europe.

“Maarten Leen was fantastic. His Good, Bad and Ugly analogy in true Clint Eastwood style was shooting from the hip. He was also very gracious with questions and answers. There are so many questions and no answers. In all this storm our focus needs to be on good business ideas and creating positive value.” - Guest at Annual India reception, Thursday 1 December

New Social Security Agreement between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of India

Agreement effective as of 1 December 2011

On 1 December 2011, a new social security agreement will enter into force between India and the Netherlands. After the agreement takes effect, Indian employees working temporarily in the Netherlands will exclusively be subject to Indian social security legislation for a maximum period of 60 months. They will no longer be insured under the Dutch schemes – National insurance schemes, employee insurance schemes and health insurance. The same applies to their family members also living in the Netherlands, unless they have a job in the Netherlands on a local contract, in which case they will be insured in the Netherlands.
