MPs will call
on the government to press for better cooperation between Europe’s security
services during Tuesday’s debate on the Brussels bombing, according to the
Volkskrant.
Justice minister Ard van der Steur, the paper says, will be given a
rough ride by MPs during the debate. In particular, MPs want more information
about last week’s revelations that one of the Brussels bombers had been sent to
the Netherlands by Turkey.
Van der Steur told MPs last week that Turkey had
informed the Netherlands digitally that Ibrahim El Bakraoui was on a plane to
Schiphol but did not alert the Dutch police. Opposition MPs have submitted 166
follow up questions, the Volkskrant says.
MPs also want to know how the
Netherlands, in its current role as EU president, plans to improve the exchange
of information between security services.
‘We have to conclude that cooperation
between European security services is failing on many fronts,’ Socialist Party
leader Emile Roemer told the paper.
In addition, opposition MPs and the ruling
VVD are expected to demand the government beefs up investment in the police.
