The impact on the natural surroundings along the 30km stretch of pipeline will be offset as much as possible. Trees felled will be replaced by new greenery. Bird and bat boxes have already been installed. In partnership with the city of Wolfsburg, new bodies of water have been created for amphibians.

  • 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.
