SUBJECT: NETHERLANDS: NO RECORD OF FORCED LABOR AND CHILD 
LABOR IN THE PRODUCTION OF GOODS 
 
REF: STATE 43120 
 
The Netherlands has no record of forced or child labor in the 
production of goods.  The GONL shares the United States, 
strong commitment to eradicate forced and child labor, and 
provides assistance to combat it to countries where forced 
and child labor occur.  Recent examples of GONL efforts are a 
proposed initiative to deny EU market access to products made 
using the worst forms of child labor, and a June 23 
conference to raise awareness of child labor in which Foreign 
Minister Verhagen participated.
