Default Netherlands must do more against racism

Netherlands must do more to combat racism in society. Writes that the Commission against Racism and Intolerance of the Council of Europe.

The Committee believes that a racist motive should be applicable. At a crime as an aggravating circumstance We also need a national strategy come against discrimination on grounds of race.

According to the ECRI has been made in combating racism, since the previous 2008 report progress but there remain areas of concern.

ECRI considers it a bad thing that there will be cuts in anti-discrimination policies and projects to combat discrimination. The committee also wants to see an end to exploitation of temporary workers who do not live in the Netherlands, for example, of Polish workers in the agricultural sector.

The Committee is further an eyesore that "certain politicians and media" Islam and Muslims, like the arrival of Eastern Europeans, often portray as a threat to Dutch society. Also there is no national policy for example to integrate into society, Roma is better in the report.

Netherlands also has been criticized because of discrimination on recruitment, in the entertainment industry and in football stadiums, where anti-Semitic chants are heard regularly.
