Through the execution of projects and activities, Rabobank Nederland plays a crucial role within our co-operative organisation in consolidating and where possible expanding the Bank's prominent market position. The Supervisory Board wishes to thank all those who contribute to this effort with great dedication: the Executive Board, the Central Delegates Assembly and the employees of Rabobank Group. In compliance with the provisions of the Articles of Association of Rabobank Nederland, the Supervisory Board has examined the annual report and financial statements.
