Parliamentary inquiry results of 2008 are still valid

Results Commission Dijsselbloem (2008):

• Insufficient problem analysis;
• Actions endangered vulnerable citizens;
• Tunnel vision among responsible Ministers;
• Political support more important than public support;
• Those directly affected were not heard;
• Many policy options were perceived as mandatory;
• Substantial changes in regulation afterwards
• Policy results deviated from policy commitment;
• Too much importance given to international rankings;
• Scientific support is lacking;
• Risky implementation.

Dijsselbloem’s doctrine

/ public support

 Develop policy

measures based on evidence, practice and experience

 Ensure feasibility of new

measures
