Following their sudden departure from the board of the POV, Ingrid Jansen and Eric Douma entered into a conversation on Wednesday with the remaining board members: Mark Tijssen, Johan van Hal and Frank Donkers. The result of this consultation is that Van Hal and Donkers also stepped down as directors with immediate effect. Nevertheless, realizing 'one pig sound' remains the intention.
During the conversation, the current and resigned board members of the Producers Organization Pig Farming (POV) unanimously came to the conclusion that the 'one pig sound' trajectory should be paramount. That means maintaining unity in the sector and continuing to work towards a vital pig farming industry. Other matters are secondary to that. However, the conversation has led to Van Hal and Donkers also immediately putting aside the tasks. As a result, Thijsen is now the only person who has an official seat on the board of the POV.
During the General Members' Council meeting (GMM), which is scheduled for March 20, the situation that has arisen will be presented to the members of the POV. During this meeting, the GMM will be asked to reappoint Jansen and Douma as temporary chairman and vice-chairman of the POV board. If this proposal is accepted by the members, Mark Thijsen will also withdraw.
