Several trade unions are outraged by outgoing Infrastructure Minister Mark Harbers' plan to cut night flights at Schiphol Airport and ban loud planes at night. They call the plans and his way of implementing them undemocratic and ill-considered, the Telegraaf reports.
Renier Castelein of De Unie told the newspaper that there is no democratic mandate for the latest proposals. "The Netherlands is becoming an unpredictable and unreliable destination. Copenhagen and Lisbon are going to grow as a result. Retaliatory measures from China, Qatar, and the U.S. will damage the communications network. This affects the business climate, the labor market, the flower auction, the hotel and conference sector, and the industry that wants reliable transport for machines and parts."
