Dutch agree deal to ramp up North Sea natural gas production - DutchNews.nl

Offshore gas production has fallen from 39 billion to 8.8 billion cubic metres a year...

Of the patients whose medical notes were analysed, 2,386 developed lung cancer but in 75% of the cases the disease was already in a late stage at the...

Dutch cabinet backs sending children to refugee "return hubs" - DutchNews.nl

The Dutch cabinet wants to send failed asylum seeker families with children to “return home hubs” in countries outside the EU, ministers have said in response to proposals from the European Commission.

However, the Dutch cabinet disagrees, saying that sending families to such hubs would “discourage the abuse of children’s vulnerability”, current affairs show Nieuwsuur reported on Tuesday evening. Children, ministers have suggested, are...

Social housing rent freeze "must not hinder new construction - DutchNews.nl

The decision to freeze social housing rents for two years must not prevent housing corporations from investing in new homes, two of the four coalition parties said on Tuesday. Housing corporations have warned the freeze will significantly impact their ability to build, despite the coalition’s pledge of €1.1 billion in compensation. Housing minister Mona Keijzer was not involved in last week’s negotiations on the government’s spending plans but must now assess how the rent freeze will affect her commitment to...
