lpv:translated text	"The Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) rejects this resolution, which condemns the Netherlands on the basis of the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV)’s website. The head of the VVD delegation, Hans van Baalen, has announced a double ‘no’. We are saying ‘no’ to the stigmatising and polarising PVV website, which sends a negative signal to willing workers from Central and Eastern Europe that harms the Netherlands and relations within the EU. The VVD groups in both this House and in the Lower Chamber of the Dutch parliament have therefore spoken out specifically against this website. Furthermore, the heads of the delegations of the VVD and Democrats 66 (D66), together with the chair of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, issued a statement as far back as 13 February this year. Problems need to be recognised and tackled, but this is not the way to do so. There thus cannot be any misunderstanding about the VVD’s position. We are also saying ‘no’ to this Parliament’s resolution RC7-0152/2012 , which is completely disproportionate and also unfairly takes the Dutch Government to task. It is not up to the European Parliament to call the Dutch Government to order about a website for which it has no responsibility. That is a fundamental difference with the Hungarian legislation, which represents a violation of EU Treaties. That is not the issue here."@en1
