Charge adjustment 1 April 2009

13 February 2009
Statistics Netherlands (the CBS) today issued its price index figure for professional goods transport by road in 2008. The annual change in 2008 was set at 4.4%. This means that starting on 1 April 2009, the charges for recovery work on IM roads can be raised by 4.4%, in accordance with article 6.4 of the Recovery agreement.

Because it has emerged that the definitive figure for 2007 was slightly higher than the originally estimated figure (2.3% as opposed to 2.2%), the total price rise as compared to the quoted charges in 2006 will be 6.8%. For contracts entered into after 1 April 2008, indexing for 2007 will have no consequences. Information about the price index for professional goods transport is published by the CBS.
