Dijsselbloem is in his shirt with retrospective – Telegraaf.nl

The Hague –

Minister Dijsselbloem (Finance) do not appear to have any legal argument to stop that De Telegraaf has access to correspondence with the European Commission about an additional 643 million euros. This can be seen in a new Commission decision in the case, which brought the newspaper to court in Luxembourg

.

Three days after the re-election of Dijsselbloem as chairman of the euro group went from his department a message with a remarkable content to the European Commission. The purpose: to treat the complaint of De Telegraaf about the withholding of documents relating to the additional tax was to Brussels, but make a personal assessment ‘

With that letter of 16 July hoarse Dijsselbloem the team’s white. flag: the Commission announced Wednesday after a months-long process yet the public documents of correspondence between The Hague and the headquarters of the European Union on behalf of 643 million euros that the Netherlands was once the national income was adjusted. That street, since the Central Bureau of Statistics sophisticated methods used to determine the size of the economy. This put recently the tax return of each company within at CBS and there is more visibility on revenue of self-employed.

Rationale

The surrender of the Netherlands on the day after the reappointment is remarkable because it was not asked by the European Commission. Who had only indicated that if there were any objections to disclosure of the documents in this newspaper before it was to be given a legal basis.

That was evidently not, despite all the great words of Dijsselbloem and his colleague Bert Koenders (Foreign Affairs) that disclosure of the correspondence as some would put the ax to the root of diplomacy. That is, after all, benefits from silence. That is why the House even if they do not understand, even if MPs have a right to more government information than citizens and media.

The European Commission therefore refused in December to give the documents released to this newspaper. But after the Dutch euros were entered in the cash book in the Brussels Berlaymont building, things are different. Therefore, the mails are still released.

Withholding

The coalition has always denied with great clamor that lightning-fast transfer of wax hundreds of millions prompted by the desire of the government to create a new achieving time as Eurogroup chairman for Dijsselbloem. Yet this is not erased after reading the now declassified documents: Netherlands seems to be no attempt to have done to reduce the payment. The withholding of the documents seems to have spent more time. The coalition’s parliamentary editorial was even informally sounded out which documents must be provided to let the matter rest.

Dijsselbloem is therefore not ready. De Telegraaf is preparing a lawsuit in the Netherlands to also get all the pieces on the table
