Ooievaar, Amsterdam 2000 (2de druk) Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/jous008hofv01_01/colofon.php © 2016 dbnl / Arendo Joustra 5 Voor mijn vader Sj. Joustra (1921-1996) Arendo Joustra, Het hof van Brussel of hoe Europa Nederland overneemt 6 ‘Het hele recht, het hele idee van een eenwordend Europa, wordt gedragen door een leger mensen dat op zoek is naar een volgende bestemming, die het blijkbaar niet in zichzelf heeft kunnen vinden, of in de liefde. Het leger offert zich moedwillig op aan dit traagkruipende monster zonder zich af te vragen waar het vandaan komt, en nog wezenlijker, of het wel bestaat.’ Oscar van den Boogaard, Fremdkörper (1991) Arendo Joustra, Het hof van Brussel of hoe Europa Nederland overneemt 9 Inleiding - Aan het hof van Brussel Het verhaal over de Europese Unie begint in Brussel. Want de hoofdstad van België is tevens de zetel van de voornaamste Europese instellingen. Feitelijk is Brussel de ongekroonde hoofdstad van de Europese superstaat. Hier komt de wetgeving vandaan waaraan in de vijftien lidstaten van de Europese Unie niets meer kan worden veranderd. Dat is wennen voor de nationale hoofdsteden en regeringscentra als het Binnenhof in Den Haag. Het spel om de macht speelt zich immers niet langer uitsluitend af in de vertrouwde omgeving van de Ridderzaal. Het is verschoven naar Brussel. Vrijwel ongemerkt hebben diplomaten en Europese functionarissen de macht op het Binnenhof veroverd en besturen zij in alle stilte, ongezien en ongecontroleerd, vanuit Brussel de ‘deelstaat’ Nederland.

    I DOCUMENTATIECENTRUM NEDERLANDSE POLITIEKE PARTIJEN 130 Lubbers' variaties In de afgelopen week heeft premier Lubbers tijdens de start van de CDA-verkiezingscampagne de aanval geopend op de PvdA. Dat verbaast mij. Toen het PvdA-verkiezingsprogramma het licht zag was de minister-president nog vol lof. "Het leest als een goed boek", was zijn commentaar. Hij voegde daar nog aan toe dat de socialisten er blijk van gaven een stuk realistischer te zijn geworden. Twee maanden geleden sprak de premier in Rotterdam op de Erasmus Universiteit. Daar gaf hij te kennen dat D66 -in tegenstelling tot de VVD- zich 'gouvernementeel' opstelt. De huidige CDA-PvdA-regeringscoalitie zou het beste kunnen worden aangevuld met D66, de zogenaamde Lubbers-variant. En nu opeens komt de premier met zijn kritiek op zijn coalitiegenoot. Hij zegt nu bevreesd te zijn dat door een zwenking naar links van de PvdA "de goede resultaten van zijn beleid zullen wegspoelen". Ik vraag mij af op welke resultaten de heer Lubbers denkt te kunnen bogen. Nederland is nu aanzienlijk zieker dan Lubbers zelf enige tijd gelden al heeft vastgesteld. De werkloosheid stijgt met 14.000 mensen per maand en bereikt een naoorlogs record. Het aantal mensen met een WAO-uitkering nadert het miljoen. Het financieringstekort neemt weer toe. In de strijd tegen de criminaliteit heeft de overheid forse tegenslagen geïncasseerd. De uitspraak van de voormalige CDA-lijsttrekker zijn bovendien vrijwel identiek aan die uit 1989, toen hij er voor waarschuwde dat "de vruchten van het herstelbeleid uit de jaren tachtig niet zouden moeten worden weggespoeld." Helaas is dat precies wat er tijdens het kabinet Lubbers- Kok is gebeurd.

  • Montesquieu Paper6.Pdf
    The Quest for a Vision for Europe: Lessons to be learned from Dutch and German Debates on the Future Democracy of European Union Hanco Jürgens, Amsterdam Institute for German Studies (DIA)/ Montesquieu Institute In November 2012, a day before Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte went to Brussels to join the EU summit, he apologized in Parliament for being not very specific about his efforts in the negotiations. He said he has to speak “with his mouth full of meal”, meaning that he could not answer the questions of the Members of Parliament in detail.1 After arriving in Brussels, he confirmed his position by stating that he had come to the EU summit with a loaded gun in his pocket and that it would not be in the Dutch interest to lay down his pistol on the table immediately. In its vagueness, Rutte’s stance is in line with the Dutch EU policy, which is traditionally seen as part of the foreign policy domain. Seen from this perspective, Dutch politicians should not be too open in public about their strategy, since this could harm their position at the EU negotiation table. For several reasons, one may ask whether this position is still accurate. Since the Treaty of Maastricht, the EU has become a policy domain far beyond the field of foreign affairs, concerning not only all ministries, but above all, the peoples of the member states. Therefore, democratic legitimacy and parliamentary control has become an important issue. One might ask why Dutch parliament allows its Prime Minister to keep his gun in his pocket.

Beschrijving en analyse van de communicatie van het Rijk tussen 1995 en 2010’, is een studie van Jeroen Sprenger, vervaardigd in opdracht van het ministerie van Financiën en de Voorlichtingsraad Auteur: Jeroen Sprenger Eindredactie: Jan Bos Vormgeving en druk: Xerox OBT, Den Haag Foto omslag: Pepijn Lutgerink Den Haag / Amsterdam, maart 2016 Copyright: Jeroen Sprenger ISBN 9789090296128 De moeizame slag om het publiek vertrouwen Beschrijving en analyse van de communicatie van het Rijk tussen 1995 en 2010 Jeroen Sprenger Voor Tanja, Marjolein & Joris, Lydia, Oscar en Alice, mijn eigen mini-samenleving “Communicatie is cruciaal bij het verwerven van draagvlak voor overheidshandelen. De media zijn het platform geworden voor ‘de slag om het publieke vertrouwen’. Bewindslieden en volksvertegenwoordigers winnen of verliezen daar het krediet voor hun beleid. Om het vertrouwen van burgers te winnen en te behouden is vandaag de dag meer nodig dan eens in de vier jaar een verkiezingscampagne. Besturen en regeren krijgen trekken van permanent campagne voeren. Voorlichting en communicatie zijn hierdoor verschoven van een belangrijk verschijnsel in de marge naar het hart van het proces van beleidsontwikkeling en beleidsverantwoording. Communicatie in het hart van het beleidsproces staat zeker zo zeer in dienst van de burger en niet alleen van het bestuur. Dat vraagt om nieuwe spelregels voor de overheidscommunicatie die de rol van de volksverte- genwoordigers in de parlementaire democratie versterken. Want de regering moet zich uiteindelijk aan hen verantwoorden”.
