The Dutch Authority of Financial Markets (AFM) directed
Monday that all information concerning the ABN Amro takeover has to be made
public.
"The takeover will result in substantial job loss for
all banks involved. The effects of the take-over are not limited to the
employees of ABN Amro alone," the RBS-led consortium writes.
Meanwhile, Royal Dutch Shell said that ABN Amro Holdings NV
CEO Rijkman Groenink has withdrawn his candidacy to become a non-executive
board member for the Anglo-Dutch oil group.
A statement from Royal Dutch Shell said: "Groenink
withdrew because he "wants to fully dedicate his attention to ABN Amro,
given the current corporate activities around the company."
A poll released on Monday suggests that 42 percent of the
Dutch business class think ABN Amro board president Rijkman Groenink should
resign.
Intomart GfK polled 250 entrepeneurs for Dutch commercial
radio station BNR Nieuwsradio on Monday.
Poll results showed that Dutch entrepreneurs were
dissatisfied with the current state of affairs with ABN AMRO.
Some 63 percent of entrepreneurs want the government to
intervene more to keep Dutch companies like ABN in Dutch hands.
