"The Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) issues work permits to Filipina women despite a recommendation against this from the Dutch embassy in Manila. The embassy says that the women are applying for permits to work as au pairs in the Netherlands but are actually being rounded up by gangs that traffic women in Europe. MP for the Socialist Party Jan de Wit concluded this on the basis of the annual report from the embassy. The annual report shows that the embassy warned the IND about the gang activities. Despite the warnings the IND continues to issue work permits." [Brief]
