The coffee shop permit |
|
After On 27 May 2011, the Dutch government presented a series of proposals aimed at transforming coffee shops into closed clubs. These clubs would have a maximum number of members, all of whom have to reside in the Netherlands, would have to provide members with a special club pass, and would have to record consumer related information. In addition, they would have to be located at a distance of at least 350 m from secondary schools and schools providing intermediate vocational education. The minister of justice wants to implement the new policy at the end of the year, starting with the coffee shops in the south of the country. Swiss EU correspondent Jonas Projer visits a coffee shop in Maastricht and one in Amsterdam, to speak about the new policy with the owners and the clients.
