The situation in Saudi Arabia remains tense after recent weeks’ terror actions. On Monday, however, the local EU Ambassadors reviewed developments and concluded that there are no immediate grounds for reassessing security conditions.
However, the EU embassies have offered to repatriate the families of their staff. Arla Foods is monitoring the situation closely in conjunction with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the local authorities and on Monday decided to offer to repatriate the families of its six employees. At the time of writing, the families concerned had not yet made their decisions.
