Embassy of India India - Netherlands Relations General Indo-Dutch contacts go back to more than 400 years. Official relations, which were established in 1947, have been cordial and friendly. India's economic growth, its large market, its pool of knowledge workers are of interest to the Netherlands. The main plank of the bilateral ties has been the strong economic and commercial relations. The two countries also share common ideals of democracy, pluralism and the rule of law. Since the early 1980s, the Dutch Government has identified India as an important economic partner. The bilateral relations underwent further intensification after India’s economic liberalization in the early 1990s. In 2006, former Prime Minister Balkenende's Government declared India, along with China and Russia, as priority countries in Dutch foreign policy. The recent successful visit of the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to India (5-6 June 2015) has set the stage to take our ties to the next level and realize the full potential of our relationship. Today, relations between India and the Netherlands have become multifaceted and encompass cooperation in various areas. Political and Economic The Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mr. Mark Rutte paid an official visit to India on 5- 6 June 2015 at the invitation of the Prime Minister of India. Earlier visits to India by the Dutch HOS/G included: Queen Beatrix (1986 & 2007) and Prime Ministers R.F.M. Lubbers (1987 & 1993), Wim Kok (1999) and Jan Peter Balkenende (2006). Her Majesty Queen Maxima visited India in June-July 2014, in her capacity as UN Secretary General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. Visits to the Netherlands by Indian HOS/G included: Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (1957); Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi (1985); President R. Venkataraman (1988); and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh (2004). EAM Shri I.K. Gujral visited the Netherlands in 1990. Foreign Minister Rosenthal visited India in July 2011. Foreign Minister Timmermans visited India in November 2013 on the margins of ASEM FMM. EAM Shri Salman Khurshid led the Indian delegation for the Third Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) hosted by Netherlands in The Hague from 24-25 March 2014. There have been regular Ministerial level visits from both sides (list of visits is attached at Annex. I). A number of Bilateral Agreements and MOUs have been concluded in diverse areas covering economic and commercial cooperation, culture, science and technology and education (list is attached at Annex. II). There is a mechanism for Foreign Office Consultations (FOCs). The last FOCs took place in May 2015 within one year of the previous FOCs held in June 2014 in New Delhi. Earlier FOCs were held in January 2011 (The Hague) and September 2007 (New Delhi). In terms of trade and investment, India has strong economic interests in the Netherlands, which is at present the fifth largest investor of FDI into India and is the 28th largest trading partner globally and 6th largest trading partner in the EU after Germany, U.K., Belgium, Italy and France. Trade and investment cooperation is a key component of India-Netherlands relationship and has shown satisfactory growth. Two- way trade has continued to grow steadily and stood at US$ 9.13 billion in 2014-15 with positive balance of trade in favour of India. In the period January-October, 2015, bilateral trade has shown an increase of 10.02% and the trade balance continues to be in favour of India. However, there is a potential for further growth in the trade relations. Netherlands is home to a number of multinational and other companies, many of which have their production sites and business operations in India. It is also a source of useful technical know-how, besides FDI, in a variety of sectors – water management, 1 upgrading of ports and airports, dredging, agro-processing, telecommunication, energy, oil refining, chemicals, and financial services. Presently, there are 174 Indian companies based in the Netherlands, attracted by the Dutch tax system which is transparent, stable and flexible. India’s apex Chamber, ASSOCHAM, has set up an office in the Netherlands in December 2015 as a gateway to Europe. As per trade figures for the period January-October 2015, the main items of Indian Exports to the Netherlands were: Miscellaneous manufactured goods (18.94%) in which apparels & clothing accounted for 11.21% of our exports; Refined petroleum products 18.78% of our exports; Manufactured goods classified by materials (17.67%) in which iron & steel accounted for 5.39% of our total exports, textile yarn, fabrics and made up articles comprised of 4.46%; Chemicals & related products (14.15%) in which organic chemicals accounted for 7.62% of total exports; Machinery & transport equipment (14.02%) in which electrical machinery accounted for 3.56%, telecommunication equipment accounted for 2.97% of total exports; Food & live animals (10.58%) in which vegetables & fruit accounted for 4.72% of total exports. The main items of Dutch Exports to India were machinery & transport equipment (31.8%) of which transport equipment accounted for 7% of total exports, industrial machinery was 4.9% of total exports and electrical machinery was 5.4% of total exports; Chemicals & related products (29.4%) in which primary plastics accounted for 9.5% of total exports; organic chemicals were 6.1% of the total and chemical materials & products were 6% of total; Crude materials (14.3%) in which scrap of ferrous and non-ferrous metals accounted for 9.6% of total exports; miscellaneous manufactured articles (11%) in which professional, scientific and controlling instruments accounted for 5.3% of total exports and; Manufactured goods classified by materials (9.7%) in which iron & steel accounted for 1.8% of total Dutch exports to India. The Netherlands is the 5th largest investor in India in terms of FDI inflows with cumulative investments of $15.769 bln comprising 6% of total FDI inflows between the periods of April 2000 to September 2015. During the financial year 2014-15, the Netherlands was the third largest investor and in the current financial year, upto September 2015, it continues to be the third largest investor. Jet Airways is launching daily non-stop flights to and from Amsterdam, one each from its home hubs in Mumbai and New Delhi as well as one from Toronto in Canada w.e.f. 27 March 2016. This will help connectivity for trade and tourism and further strengthen the economic & commercial relations between the two countries. Culture and Education In May 1985, a Cultural Agreement was signed between the two countries, which provides for cooperation and exchanges in education and science, art and culture. Indian Cultural Centre named “The Gandhi Centre” in The Hague was inaugurated on 2 October 2011. The Centre has sought to promote Indian culture. The Centre conducts a wide range of diverse cultural activities. It has regular Yoga and Tabla classes. Hindi classes are expected to begin in 2016. It also partners with other local Dutch cultural organizations to promote Indian culture. The first International Day of Yoga was celebrated on 21 June 2015 at the Atrium City Hall of The Hague. Over 600 people from various sections of the society comprising of local Dutch population, Surinami Hindustani community and Indian Diaspora participated at the event with great enthusiasm. 2 An ICCR-sponsored troupe led by well-known Sarod maestro Shri Basant Kabra visited the Netherlands from 06-10 July. Three successful programmes were organized in the Netherlands during their visit. Holland India Festival 2015 comprising of three components, viz. Film, Dance and Music, was held in October-November 2015. The highlights were participation of the ICCR-sponsored Kathak Dance troupe led by Ms. Sanjukta Sinha in the Indian Dance Festival and the ICCR-sponsored music troupe of flute maestro Pandit Nityanand Haldipur in the Indian Music Festival. An ICCR-sponsored Sari Exhibition was also held. There is an ICCR Chair for Contemporary Indian Studies at the Leiden University since September 2011. Diaspora The Netherlands has the second largest population of people of Indian origin in Europe, next only to the UK. A 225,000-strong Indian Diaspora (200,000 Surinami-Hindustani community and 25,000 NRIs/PIOs) is an important element that helps foster closer ties with the Netherlands. The Diaspora forms an important link between the two countries and facilitates people-to-people contacts. The decision to implement the e-Tourist Visa scheme from August 15, 2015, as well as Government of India schemes such as Know India Programme, Tracing the Roots Programme, India Corporate Internship Programme etc are some significant initiatives to enhance and deepen such people-to- people contacts. Apart from the Dutch, the Surinami-Hindustani community in the Netherlands evince keen interest in different aspects of Indian culture. Indian Film Festivals, Food Festivals, Music and Dance Shows organized by local organizers are very popular and attended in large numbers by both the Indian and Surinami-Hindustani community. The Surinami-Hindustani community is well integrated into Dutch society and is active in all spheres in the Netherlands, including in politics. The Deputy Mayor of The Hague Municipality, Mr. Rabin Baldewsingh, an influential and charismatic leader belonging to the Surinami-Hindustani community, has been conferred with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award (PBSA) for the year 2014, making him the first member of the Surinami Hindustani community in the Netherlands to be awarded the prestigious PBSA. Earlier, PBSAs have been conferred on two prominent members of the Indian Diaspora, viz. Mr. Ram Lakhina and Mr. Wahid Saleh, in 2009 and 2011 respectively. The Diaspora participates actively in events such as the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, which was organized on January 9, 2016 by the Embassy in The Hague.

  • Bos-Variant Ten Onder in Politiek Spel
    Bos-variant ten onder in politiek spel Door onze redacteur Egbert Kalse De beslissing de HSL aan te leggen was een politiek compromis. Oog voor alternatieven was er nauwelijks. Over de al dan niet bestaande gelijkwaardigheid van varianten. DEN HAAG, 10 SEPT. Het uiteindelijke tracé van de hogesnelheidslijn - met een tunnel van 900 miljoen gulden dwars door het Groene Hart - was ,,paars op zijn best'', zei toenmalig premier Wim Kok eind 1996 toen het kabinet dat tracé verdedigde in de Kamer. Maar gisteren en vandaag werd duidelijk dat voordat het paarse compromis er lag, het bijna tot een kabinetscrisis was gekomen. De tijdelijke commissie infrastructuurprojecten (de commissie-Duivesteijn) is gisteren begonnen met de verhoren over de besluitvorming rondom de hogesnelheidslijn van Amsterdam naar België. De vragen spitsten zich toe op de onmogelijkheid voor parlement en burgers om nog iets te veranderen aan het kabinetsvoornemen een spoorlijn door het Groene Hart aan te leggen. Zo kwam ook de Bos- variant aan de orde. Voormalig ambtenaar Willem Bos, die gisterenmorgen werd verhoord, bedacht halverwege de jaren negentig een aantal varianten voor het tracé, waaronder een variant waarbij het spoor niet door het Groene Hart, maar langs de snelwegen A13 en A4 zou lopen. Volgens oud-minister Annemarie Jorritsma (Verkeer, VVD) was in de onderhandelingen over het paarse regeerakkoord nog niet over het daadwerkelijke tracé gesproken. Wel sprak het kabinet zich in 1994 uit voor de voorkeursvariant, door het Groene Hart. ,,En ik heb daarna geen betere varianten gezien'', aldus Jorritsma. Al in 1994 zijn alle varianten globaal bekeken, zei ze. Een voorloper van de Bos-variant is toen al afgevallen mede omdat die variant door nieuwe woonwijken en bestaande dorpen zou lopen.

Een spanningsveld dus, waar politici afkomstig uit het maatschappelijk middenveld maar al te vaak hun tanden op stuk bijten. Het meest recente voorbeeld is natuurlijk Karin Adelmund, die als PVDA-Kamerlid de WAO-ingrepen moest verdedigen waartegen zij als vicevoorzitter van de f n v te hoop was gelopen.

  • Den Uyl-Lezing Door Wim Kok, Gehouden Op 11 December 1995
    [Aangeboden door interferenties.nl] Den Uyl-lezing door Wim Kok, gehouden op 11 december 1995 We laten niemand los GESPREK MET DE VORIGEN ‘In onze tijd wordt nogal eens de klacht gehoord, dat er zo weinig utopie meer is, dat de inspirerende kracht van het geloof in een andere en betere wereld, dat generaties voor ons zou hebben bezield, thans ontbreekt (...). Daarin ligt voor mij geen reden tot ontmoediging of oorzaak van ontluistering. In tegendeel. De wereld bewoonbaar en het bestaan leefbaar maken is een opdracht voor elke generatie ()‘ [1] Ik wil niet geheel uitsluiten dat u veronderstelt dat dit een tekst van mijzelf is. Geen misverstand: ik voel mij er uitstekend bij thuis, maar aan het woord is Joop den Uyl, bijna veertig jaar geleden, in 1956 om precies te zijn. Het is de tijd waarin de indrukwekkende resultaten van de wederopbouwinspanningen zichtbaar en voelbaar beginnen te worden. Minister-President Drees is — in de gestolde, maar bepaald niet saaie verhoudingen van toen — op het toppunt van zijn macht en populariteit, in zijn eigen partij en daarbuiten. De verzorgingsstaat wordt in de steigers gezet. De ouderen krijgen terecht voorrang, het duurt nog jaren voordat de Algemene Bijstandswet een vloer legt in het huis dat later de verzorgingsstaat zal gaan heten. In de persoon van Den Uyl weerspiegelt zich het dilemma dat onze beweging vanaf haar oprichting heeft begeleid: de spanning tussen droom en daad, ideaal en werkelijkheid, ideaal en ideologie. Ik betrek hier de stelling dat wie uitsluitend uit het bestaande zijn normen, zijn interpretatie van de werkelijkheid afleidt, het vermogen mist de werkelijkheid te beïnvloeden.

    PRESS RELEASE Brussels, 7 July 2004 “MAKE THINGS BETTER!” UNICE EXPECTATIONS FROM THE DUTCH PRESIDENCY “Make things better” in the fields of governance, regulation and communication was the main message European business delivered to Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, Dutch Minister for Economic Affairs. The UNICE delegation, headed by UNICE President Jürgen Strube and Jacques Schraven, President of the Dutch business organisation VNO-NCW and Vice-President of UNICE, emphasised the key position of the Dutch Presidency which will set the course for the new political cycle 2004-2009. UNICE President Jürgen Strube: “The Dutch Presidency should make its promise to make things better real! For European business this has to be translated into better governance, better regulation, and better communication!” UNICE supports the Dutch Presidency when putting competitiveness at the top of the agenda. The Competitiveness Council is of utmost importance in order to address Europe’s structural problems. Jürgen Strube: “The Competitiveness Council must give clear statements on whether legislative proposals would enhance competitiveness. It must coordinate and evaluate competitiveness-related decisions of other Council configurations. UNICE is eager to continue the tradition started during the Irish Presidency to have meetings at political and technical level ahead of the Competitiveness Councils.” Better regulation, a top priority, must lead to a significant reduction of existing red tape.

  • Balkenende Speech EP Strasbourg 2004.Pdf
    Speech by the President, Jan Peter Balkenende, to the European Parliament, in Strasbourg on 21 July 2004 Mr/Madam President, Members of the European Parliament, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in today presenting the Netherlands Presidency's priorities to you, the directly elected representatives of Europe's citizens. As Members of the European Parliament, you hold one of the finest and most important offices of all in the European Union. It is no accident that Parliament is the institution placed first in the Treaty. You watch over the quality of our community, which is above all a community based on shared values. You have received a proud mandate from Europe's citizens. I wish you every success in carrying it out and warmly congratulate you on your election. I should particularly like to congratulate Mr Borrell on his election as President of the European Parliament. I also wish you every success in that important position. Even though we play different roles within the European Union, we have much in common. The main thing, in my view, is a great sense of responsibility: for Europe, for the substantive issues on which we want to make progress and, above all, towards the people of Europe, for whom we are doing all this. I should like to thank the Irish Presidency for the great job done. Bertie Ahern and his team have performed wonders. Successful enlargement to bring in ten countries, agreement on a new European Constitution and mutually agreed selection of a really top-class nominee as President of the new European Commission: these are resounding achievements.

  • Over Persoonlijke En Politieke Ambities
    DOCUMEN . ‘ * ------------------------------------------------ Hfincat AKinftF POLITIEKE _ PARTIJEN Over persoonlijke en politieke ambities Deze keer wil ik de ruimte in de WD-Expresse, die ik wekelijks toebedeeld krijg, graag gebrui­ ken om een misverstand uit de weg te ruimen. Tijdens de persconferentie die ik twee weken geleden gaf naar aanleiding van een artikel in het Parool over de mogelijke terugkeer van Hans Wiegel naar Den Haag, heb ik op een vraag van een journalist naar mijn ambities geantwoord dat ik deze wel heb, maar dat die niet liggen op het politieke vlak. Ik had dat anders moeten zeggen. Natuurlijk heb ik politieke ambities. Ik wil dat de VVD goed uit de bus komt bij toekomstige verkiezingen en dat er een goed regeerakkoord komt voor een kabinet waaraan wij deelnemen. Ik heb alleen geen ambities voor mijn persoon. Ik ben fractielid geweest, vice-voorzitter van de fractie, voorzitter, staatssecretaris en minister. Ik wil daarmee zeggen dat er geen specifieke functie is die ik ambieer. Dit betekent natuurlijk niet dat ik niet meer voor de politiek beschikbaar zou zijn. Elke functie waarin de partij mij wil zien, zal ik met genoegen, toewijding en grote inzet vervullen. Mijn politieke doelstelling op dit moment is drieledig. Ten eerste wil ik de ideologische basis van de W D verder verstevigen. Ten tweede: de partij weer zoals vanouds een herkenbaar profiel geven. Men moet de VVD zien zoals zij is: een moderne liberale partij voor geëmancipeerde mensen. Tenslotte: de W D, nu zij uit het dal is, verder laten groeien. Dat zijn ambities en daarvoor zet ik mij in.

    Paul L.G. Quekel 5403423 Vught 12-03-2013 p/a/ PI-Vught Lunettenlaan 501 5263NT Vught Geachte heer Witteman, I n het verleden heb ik u vele e-mails gestuurd, over vele zaken maar vooral over de financiële fraude in Nederland. Nog in uw tijd met mevrouw Sonja Barend. Specifiek over de woekerpolissen, de kredietcrisis, het pensioendebacle dat er aan kwam en de schandalige grote ophoging van de huizenprijzen. Begonnen tijdens de paarse periode onder aanvoering van de 2 slechtste ministers aller tijden, de ‘heren’ Wim Kok, en Gerrit Zalm die nu hun zakken nu vullen met fancy goedbetaalde nevenfuncties, en commissariaten. U kunt hierover lezen op www.sdnl.nl/pimpelpaars.htm Mijn gevecht vanaf 1994 tegen Delta Lloyd heb ik uiteindelijk verloren met als resultaat een gevangenisstraf van 12 jaren. Waarom? U kunt dit lezen op: www.sdnl.nl/woekerpolis.htm en over het gevolg van deze ellende www.sdnl.nl/gevangenis.htm. Op wettelijke basis zal ik u en de VARA nooit kunnen aanspreken, maar wel op uw morele verplichting als journalist, want wanneer u als fatsoenlijk, betrouwbaar en rechtvaardige journalist en integer naar uw geweten zou hebben gehandeld en wel naar eer en dat geweten, dan had u zeker veel meer aandacht besteed aan de wettelijk, gefaciliteerde en gelegaliseerde financiële maffia van banken en verzekeraars. U bent volgens mij mede verantwoordelijk voor de financiële ellende door woekerpolissen en kredietcrisis waar nu honderdduizenden Nederlandse gezinnen in terecht gekomen zijn. U ondernam géén enkele actie om op te komen voor deze gezinnen. Uitmondend in vele trieste zaken van gezinnen zoals het mijne en de regelmatige berichtgevingen in kranten en tijdschriften over weer een gezinsdrama, met doden en zelfdoden.
