Govt Wants Emergency Act against 'Environmental Pirates'

THE HAGUE, - The Netherlands wants to ban the controversial
anti-whaling organisation Sea Shepherd from sailing under the Dutch
flag. Public Works State Secretary Tineke Huizinga said Friday she
wants to amend the law quickly to make this possible.
The American organisation Sea Shepherd has two ships sailing under the
Dutch flag. The Netherlands provided the necessary certificate of
registry for this in 2007, after Sea Shepherd had promised in writing
not to use violence and to comply with the safety rules. Nonetheless,
a number of incidents have taken place between Sea Shepherd ships and
Japanese whalers in the Antarctic.
Japan has repeatedly complained to the Netherlands about the Sea
Shepherd. It appears difficult at the moment to take action against
ships that do not comply with the rules, so the cabinet wants to
speedily extend its legal options for withdrawing certificates of
registry, according to Huizinga.
