In recent years, there has been a steady decline in the number of people opting for additional coverage with their health insurance, reports NU.nl. This trend is probably caused by the continuous increase in health insurance premiums, which means that eliminating extra packages for glasses or physiotherapy, for example, can be an attractive saving.
According to data from Vektis, an organization that collects data from insurers, fewer and fewer Dutch people are opting for supplementary health insurance. Currently, 81.5 percent of all insured people have taken out a supplementary package, compared to 82.

Chinese spies arrested in Germany, Dutch secret services also warn | RTL News
In one week, six people have been accused in Germany and England of espionage activities for China. Among them there is also an employee of a major German political party. And in the Netherlands the MIVD and AIVD security services also warn about Beijing’s espionage activities.
Last Monday in Germany three people were arrested in one fell swoop. They are suspected of having transmitted sensitive information to China since June 2022.
“Militarily useful technologies”
One of them allegedly worked for an employee of the Chinese Ministry of State Security and obtained information on “militarily useful technologies”. A German couple was also arrested: they allegedly helped him in this.
On the same day, two men were charged in England with spying for China after allegedly providing information that “could be useful to an enemy”. Less than a day later, a collaborator of the well-known German radical right-wing party AfD was also arrested, suspected of espionage for China.
Big threat
“It’s really surprising that so much has come to light,” says Koen Aartsma, an intelligence and security expert at the Clingendael Institute. It is difficult to determine whether more espionage is actually taking place. On the one hand we could be more careful now, he says: “The focus of Western services has probably shifted more to the fight against espionage.”
But at the same time, according to Aartsma, the threat of espionage is very high: “China spies on an industrial scale abroad, including the Netherlands.” This may have to do with the ties between Europe and China, which have become less strong in recent times: “China has great economic and political interests in the West and at the same time China and the West have become increasingly opposed to each other on the economic and political”. the world stage.”
In response to the German arrests, China itself said last week that “recent reports in Europe about Chinese espionage are all fabrications aimed at defaming and oppressing China” and urged the country to “stop spreading disinformation about the threat of espionage Chinese”.

Yet there are certainly many reason

Navigating the Booming Real Estate Market: Tips for Profiting Safely
Big sales market in the first half of the year
40,000 households in 43 complexes this month alone
Selling price rose 28% in a year
If you want to profit from the market, you have to be careful.

Anyone preparing to buy a home should take a close look at the subscription calendar which starts in May. This is because the ‘sales clock’, which had stopped for a while, is turning again.
From January to April this year, it was an unexpected ‘off-season sale’. This is because the Korea Real Estate Board’s home subscription site has been reorganized in accordance with the change in the subscription system, and apartment sales were largely delayed due to the April 10 general election.
But starting in May, the situation turns around. Although there is a possibility that the plan may change, the majority of complexes aim to supply a large number of apartments during the first half of the year. Sales have been organized one after the other in popular areas in Seoul such as Gangnam, Seocho, Mapo, and Gangdong-gu, as well as large areas in the metropolitan area such as Seongnam and Suwon.
In particular, newlyweds or households with a newborn will have a greater chance of winning if they use the new subscription system. However, as sales prices continue to rise due to rising construction costs and other reasons, and the concentration of properties in popular areas or complexes is expected to increase, underwriting strategies have become more important.

According to the sales industry, starting in May, Granz River Park in Seongnae-dong, Gangdong-gu, Mapo Xi Hill State in Gongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu, Raemian One Pentas in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, and Raemian Leventus in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu plans to open model homes and start selling them. Immediately in May, 39,593 households will be supplied from 43 complexes across the country. Compared to the same month last year (6,720 households), it is almost 5 times more. The intention was to supply 23,404 households in the metropolitan area and 16,189 households in regional areas. In particular, it is worth noting that 16 of the 43 workplaces are large complexes with over 1,000 households.
The complex in Seoul expected to start preparations for sale in May is ‘Grants River Park’ in Gangdong-gu. This is a residential-commercial apartment complex being built by DL E&C through the redevelopment of Seongnae District 5 and is expected to be completed in January next year. It has the top 42 floors above ground, 2 buildings, and a total of 407 households, with 327 unique households ranging from 36 to 180 m2 available for general sale.
Grants River Park has a good transportation environment as it is located in a double station area near Cheonho Station, a transfer station for Subway Lines 5 and 8, and Gangdong Station, Line 5. It is located within walking distance to Han River, and around the complex are Pungnap Neighborhood Park, Hangang Gwangnaru Park, and Olympic Park, so you can enjoy a comfortable residential life. Within a 10-minute walk are Seongnae Elementary School, Gangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, E-Mart (Cheonho Branch), Hyundai Department Store (Cheonho Branch), and E-Land Retai
