DUTCH MAASTRICHT TOWN TELLS DRUG
TOURISTS TO TAKE TRIP TO BELGIUM
Pubdate: Sun, 28 May 2006
Everything
You Need To Know About Amsterdam,
Main Entrance Page For Amsterdam A to Z
To most of the outside world, it is known as the dull Dutch market town where
the treaty that created the European Union was signed in 1992. Small
wonder then, that the bulk of Maastricht's foreign visitors come not for the
history, but for the abundance of Amsterdam-style "coffee shops"
selling marijuana.
Now, however, fed up at the growing numbers of drug tourists, Maastricht plans
to move up to half of the offending cafes to the Belgian border - a scheme that
has tested the spirit of European integration to its limit.
For the town's mayor, Gerd Leers, the move will simply relocate the cafes safely
out of Maastricht and closer to their main market, which locals say is
overwhelmingly young Belgians anyway.
But officials in Belgium, where cannabis remains illegal, say the plan will
completely derail their own zero-tolerance policy on drugs. Because both
countries are signatories to the EU's Schengen free movement agreement, the
national boundary exists nowadays only on maps, which means that Belgian towns
such as Lanaken, right on the border, may end up looking as if they have their
own coffee shop.
"I have a good understanding with Mayor Leers, except when it comes to soft
drugs," Lanaken's mayor, Alex Vangronsveld, complained last week.
"We in Lanaken maintain a zero-tolerance policy. The dispersal plan
is not acceptable to us, as Maastricht already has 4,500 drug tourists a
day."
Dutch police, however, back Mr Leers. By moving some of Maastricht's 16
coffee shops to within a few yards of Belgium, they hope to export not just the
cannabis trade but also its undesired sidekick, illegal hard drugs.
"Their fears are legitimate," said Peter Tans, the police spokesman
for south Limburg, the Dutch region that includes Maastricht.
"Experience has shown that when you move the coffee shop the problem moves,
too, and crime levels where the coffee shop used to be drop dramatically.
But we say to the Belgians: 'These are your customers, keep them in your
country'."
Dutch MPs visited the Belgian border region last week to hear local concerns.
They were told that Dutch soft drug cultivators were increasingly targeting
hard-up Belgian farmers, in areas near the border, and offering them cash in
exchange for use of part of their land. Maastricht officials say the
relocation scheme will be voluntary but believe many coffee shop owners would be
happier closer to the border.
A date for the move has not been set and some coffee shop managers believe the
plan might never be activated. A previous project by Mr Leers to ban
non-Dutch residents from frequenting the coffee shops has not been put in
motion.
"There are elections next year, so maybe the policy will change
again," said the manager of the Easy Going coffee shop, who refused to give
her name.
A drug dealer in Club 69, a smart coffee shop near Maastricht's main market
square, added: "You'll find they will move the coffee shops in residential
areas where there are children running about and leave those in the town
centre."
