Raising children and keeping the Netherlands together

Christiana,

Watched the interview with Ruanda president mr. Paul Kagame tonight but thoughts were with inland security. Last week president mr. Wouter Bos resigned from government and tonight at 19:28 CET the broadcast of the television program Volgende vraag (next question) of the socio democratic Vara association was prohibited by technique. The screen went green and blue for more than 15 minutes. I made a phone call to the security department of the broadcast, the spokesman eluded a start-in issue.

So the population now is not granted to see interviews with mr. de Bilde of the Financial planners association and mr. van der Helm, CEO investors durable products. Probably the contest is about guarantee payments of up to 100.000 euro's the government gave to duped Icesave bank savers. Contacted Iceland minister of finance mr. Sigfússon Jan 6th this year concerning socio economic development. I offered (tonight at 19:50) the constables to share responsibility for the action to help relief the tensions.

The action is inline with europe's ability to give guarantees to duped Icesave savers only up to a certain amount. Paul Kagame talked about accountability, the financial system is a dominant scheme to count on. Am involved as an internet specialist and journalist with the integrity of another system to count on, the information system. Being member of the Wouter Bos group, I have issues combining work and raising children living in the region.

Moreover, sorry for the delay distributing documentary Generation islam. Had some problems as a juvenile accepting authority and now Christiana, need a female authoritarian hand.

PS: I negotiated to release the omission by means of the program missed service (uitzending gemist). Four seconds after the existence of the guarantee was mentioned, the break in the video at 5:36 confirms the interruption deals with the amount of 100.000 euro. With some moderation, published the message for a broad audience, no further modifications are needed. Pictures are taken from the television screen but could not get them out the foto unit. A soundbyte of the phone conversation exists. Agreed to contact the editorial office tomorrow.

Subject: International payments regarding the EU financial market issue
To: Finance Minister Iceland mr. S.J. Sigfússon

I write on the last day of the Icelandic Christmas. Born in 1954, I have a professional career since the 1970's working as an analyst and programmer for the Dutch ministry of economic affairs on issues such as equal payment for women and care for disabled people. Also I am CEO of a small company that performed in a crucial matter booting up the worldwide internet. In the 1990's I did analysis work for European money transactions. I was at the party in 1998 when the Rabobank telebanking program for middle- and small size companies saw the light. Also I am a blogger not only on issues as pay-traffic, also on fathering and bringing up children. It is my plan to become a Dutch authority on the integrity of (internet) communications and social payment traffic.

As a former regional secretary of the Dutch social democratic party Wouter Bos and I are acquainted (see the enclosed photo). I know how hard he tried since 2002 to convince the European Committee that regulations for financial transactions across the borders of European Union are needed. With such regulations the Icesave drama never would have occurred. It is a pity that many people after the accident want satisfaction of the Icelandic population rather than seeing the European Committee as accountable for what happened. Iceland makes a strong point negotiating that membership of the EU has to take place before Kroatia does.

Television coverage in the Netherlands regarding the Icesave issue
Yesterday the commercial television station RTL started the news journal with the issue that the President of Iceland has declined to sign the law authorizing a state guarantee for repayment of loans, although the Iceland parliament Althingi approved the legislation. Although the news anchor stated that the Dutch government should be payed, the correspondent expressed understanding for the situation of the population.

Traditional television station Ned1 news journal mentioned that there were conditions imposed by the IMF. Later on in the evening in the news-commentary program Nova Wouter Bos was interviewed. He said that he demands of Iceland that savings in the bank for Icelandic customers are guaranteed to be safe. On television he showed some joy after the interviewer did not respond his remarkable ruling. In the daily discussion program of the social democratic broadcasting union Vara, economist Sweder van Wijnbergen was a guest. He stated that it is not possible to get back the complete amount of 1.3 + 2.5 billion euro's and that creditors have to discuss what is feasible for Iceland. He recalled that countries which previously had large debts such as Mexico, Korea and Poland, nowadays have no repercussion what so ever related to their inability to pay the full debt in the past.

Economic outlooks
The situation of Iceland can be compared with other isolated islands such as the Canary island. The Spanish government and the European union understand that additional policies for aid and an exceptional position are needed to insure economic development. In the Netherlands we have some islands in the north and their populations yearlong made efforts for improving traffic, for example ferries. Automobiles are popular in Iceland and our suggestion is that Iceland will develop their inland traffic system and takes an example to the Netherlands regarding construction of roads, bridges and tunnels. We in the Netherlands know of the Iceland example of investments in durable power supply mostly because some television coverage by the VPRO broadcasting union and we are looking forward to Iceland media productions to promote these sensible investments.

The world is becoming more virtual and this gives chances for islands for example in exporting international pop-music and web-based services. Our compliments for the clarity and the bright transparency of the Iceland governmental web. Clearly Iceland men such as Sigur Rós dare too few and should be more decisive and emancipated, however he reminds of Irish mystical trends and there is a public for his style. The Mezzoforte band with their jazzy easy listening sound will be appreciated to a wide public especially when they make interesting video's. I saw that Cameron Crow did a job on the 'Vanilla bonus' song and also in Europe there are talented video screenplay writers.

European union
The EU offers many benefits and I like to emphasize lower food prices. In the early 90's I was on holiday in Norway and had to pay a lot for a can of beans. Membership of the EU surely will improve the lives especially of poor people.
