Letter from His Excellency Mr P W Waldeck,
Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom,
to the Chairman of Sub-Committee F
Thank you for your letter of 1 July concerning
the headquarters of Europol and Eurojust in The Hague. The Dutch
Government and the Municipality of The Hague are in complete agreement
with you that it would be very beneficial if these organisations
could be co-located in the same building. However, the new headquarters
which Europol decided to build and which is currently under construction
is hot large enough to accommodate Eurojust as well. The possibility
is now being investigated of housing Eurojust in the immediate
vicinity of the new Europol building.
Let me assure you that neither the Dutch Government
nor the Municipality of The Hague at any stage opposed the co-location
of Europol and Eurojust. I much regret that you were told otherwise.
