Today, State Secretary for Defence Gijs Tuinman sounded the gong to mark the signing of the covenant between Euronext Amsterdam and the National Reserve. This agreement supports employees who wish to serve as reservists and facilitates their participation in reserve activities. With this collaboration, the Amsterdam stock exchange is confirming its ambition to contribute to national and European resilience and to strengthen the link between the business community and Defence. It is a concrete example of how Euronext also contributes at a local level to a resilient, safe and sovereign Europe.
Euronext Amsterdam is the fourth location within the group to sign a similar covenant, following earlier agreements in France, Denmark and Norway. More partnerships with local military reserves in Europe will be signed in the coming months.  

The State Secretary was welcomed by René van Vlerken, CEO of Euronext Amsterdam, and Dick Sluimers, Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Euronext N.V..
