I never have been a fan of the European commission, much too USSR or USA-like in my view.

EU Warns Netherlands Against Allowing Cannabis Growing
BRUSSELS, 21/06/06 - European Commissioner Franco Frattini (Justice) has warned the Netherlands that legalisation of cannabis-growing is in conflict with EU rules. A Lower House majority wants to allow hemp growing under state supervision.
Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner is debating with the Lower House this week on plans to regulate cannabis cultivation. The conservatives (VVD), Labour (PvdA) and the centre-left (D66) want the government to start an experiment to permit controlled growing. In this way, the House wants to take cannabis cultivation out of criminal hands. Donner is against the proposal.
Legalisation according to Frattini infringes a decision of the EU countries in 2004, for which the Netherlands also voted. This banned the cultivation of cannabis plants, unless exclusively for personal use. This is not the case when it is grown for supply to the tolerated Dutch drugs bars, better known as coffee shops.
Frattini was in The Hague yesterday. He wants to try to remove the fears on the European Commission's plans to restrict the veto rights of the 25 EU countries in the area of justice and police cooperation. The Italian had talks with Donner, who is hesitant on Frattini's initiatives. He also spoke with the Lower House standing committees for justice and European affairs.

And this is the reaction from our minister of justice, who is a Christian democrat btw, and a huge fan of US indoctrination...

Cannabis farming plan scuppered by minister

The Netherlands' justice minister yesterday fended off further liberalisation of the country's cannabis policy. Under Dutch law, "coffee shops" sell cannabis, but police crack down on growers. In December the minister, Piet Hein Donner, reluctantly agreed to MPs' requests to consider allowing the large-scale farming of cannabis in a pilot project near Maastricht. But yesterday he told MPs that if they wanted to allow cultivation, "then you need to find a different kind of justice minister". The key coalition party VVD appeared to swing behind him in order to avert a cabinet crisis.

The VVD is a right wing party, needless to say they also are big US indoctrination fans.
