The inspection of boats from Hook of Holland to England sailing, still appears as leaky as a sieve. Samples are only once a week in the country there are only three sniffer dogs that can search for stowaways. The British do not trust it clear and want to send their own people to our border
.
A visit to the afvaarplaats shipping company Stena Line and the Royal Military Police teaches there that checks on foreigners certainly not waterproof. This newspaper was itself already some research and drew that conclusion, but even with a control where the press was invited, you can see several holes in the control.
Luck
rows of trucks that are ready every day to ride on the boat are not all controlled by the Military Police. While there have aliens climb to try their luck in the United Kingdom. The intensification of controls’ in Hook of Holland, who announced the Cabinet, in practice too little to imagine. “We were here first 1 to 2 times a week and now 3 to 4 times,” says Martin Knol, team leader at the Military Police. And even if it is checked, not all trucks are subject to inspection. How quickly the Malinois Lynn is, she can not sniff anything. A driver when asked what he thinks of the controls: “I see them for the first time.”
The number of foreigners has increased significantly encountered on this route. Hook of Holland is clearly increasingly seen as a springboard to Britain. Last year there were 160 caught on this waterway, now there are already 220 found in less than six months. “This increase worries us. Traffickers earn big money here, “says Hans Leijtens, commander of the entire Royal Military Police. “I expect the number of last year is going to double.”
Argus Eyes
Those refugees are caught incidentally, especially across the North Sea. Here they are so missed. By the British therefore looked with suspicion at our controls. After all, they are the illegal immigrants as the Dutch checks do not prove sufficient.
The Department of the Interior proposes therefore to their border guards to leave work in the Netherlands. Secretary Dijkhoff (Security and Justice), yesterday visited the afvaarplaats says having to open. “There people read, after Calais, also on the Hook of Holland in the newspaper. It’s also a way as government to see there: “we do something about it ” Watertight controls he says the British in any case not be able to promise
State Police can not be everywhere,.. certainly not the only three dogs. It means that there is even less along other borders shuffled. Team leader Knol therefore says he quite what people would like to have. That can not, however, promise State Dijkhoff. But he knows there is a fourth dog to come, yet an extension of a third
