A spokesman for the Dutch Foreign Ministry, reacting to reports that following the opening of a Palestine Liberation Organization office in Brussels, the PLO would shortly also open an office in The Netherlands, said that no such request had been made by the PLO. The standpoint of the Dutch government on this issue remains unchanged, he said. Netherlands Foreign Minister Max Van Der Stoel some time ago, replying to a parliamentary question, stated that the Dutch government will not allow the PLO in The Netherlands as long as the organization does not recognize the right of Israel to exist.
