It must be said that being a refugee is already hard enough. Countless of people have to flee their country on an annual basis for various reasons, ranging from war, famine, crime, national security, or a combination of issues.
Below is an open letter sent to the Dutch PM regarding the civil effect of the Dutch passport in connection to exiled EU citizens. This refers to people who have had to flee an EU country as a result of exposing violations of human rights or other major crimes with an economic/state dimension to it. In this case specifically, reference is made to Latvia and Malta.
Included are several questions on what the Netherlands could do for these people and how this could positively affect the civil effect of the Dutch passport, as well as the signal it sends to other EU countries. The second document shows the response, which indicates that intervention in relation to State Aid violations remains at the discretion of the European Commission.
