"The Dutch Government’s silence with regard to the racist website promoted by the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) proves the considerable influence that this extremist party has on the Netherlands’ European policy, especially concerning the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In fact, the Netherlands is the only Member State which has virtually closed its labour market to Romanian and Bulgarian citizens. It is also blocking both countries’ accession to the Schengen area in an illegal and, in particular, immoral manner.
This new website, which is extremely offensive and xenophobic, is a new expression of the PVV’s anti-European sentiment which, unfortunately, is once again going unpunished by the European Commission and especially by the Dutch Government. Both the silence from the Dutch authorities and the Commission’s lack of action are unacceptable and encourage the PVV to pursue its policy of xenophobia. It would therefore not surprise us if the next initiative from the PVV was to make it compulsory for foreigners to wear distinctive badges or simply to expel them from the Netherlands. As the Guardian of the Treaties, the European Commission must not only speak out in condemnation of these initiatives, but also take concrete measures, failing a satisfactory response from the national authorities."@en1
