	Press releases/Dutch Parliament says No to European criminal law against IP violations - FFII
		The Parliament submits that the Commission does not present any evidence that the directive is even needed at all, and that it interprets a recent European Court of Justice judgment overly broadly.
		The Dutch Parliament dryly remarks that the Commission not even attempts to argue that a distortion in trade between member states would occur without this law, and concludes that therefore "any and all factual support" for the directive is missing.
		The Parliament notes that the directive would only harmonise some penalties, but that there is no indication that criminals would choose the jurisdiction with the lowest penalties to operate from.

		AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch parliament approved new anti-terrorism measures Tuesday that make it easier to arrest suspects without strong evidence and hold them longer without charge.
		Prosecutors will be able to approve surveillance, infiltration or wiretapping of suspects even when there is not "reasonable suspicion" that a suspect may have committed a criminal act.
		Although Dutch prosecutors lost several high-profile cases against terrorism suspects in 2002 and 2003, they have won an equal number of important convictions under the new laws.

	10/24/97 P. Leventhal Testimony Before Dutch Parliament
		The Dutch Government now must decide what is to become of the plutonium produced in Dutch reactors, most of it already separated from spent fuel, some of it not.
		Some Dutch plutonium, recovered by reprocessing under early contracts, was provided for fuel for the Kalkar FBR (174 kilograms) and for fuel for the Superphenix FBR (486 kilograms).
		This position complicates Dutch nuclear-waste policy by eliminating the option of returning Petten's spent fuel to the United States for final disposal, an option being utilized by the vast majority of research reactor operators who have agreed to convert their facilities to LEU fuel.

	Europe: Dutch Parliament Ponders Experiment in "Legal" Coffeeshop Supply
		Once again Dutch parliamentarians are seeking to make their domestic drug laws coherent, but Dutch government ministers want to maintain the schizophrenic status quo.
		Though since 1976, the official-unofficial policy of the Dutch national government, local police, and prosecutors has been to license and tolerate marijuana sales in so-called coffeeshops or hash bars (which cannot stock more than 500g at one time), it has always been illegal to grow marijuana in the Netherlands.
		While elements of the conservative Dutch government remain firmly opposed to the "backdoor" proposal and in fact would like to further tighten restrictions on the coffeeshops, it looks like a parliamentary rebellion is underway.
