Written question by Christian Democrats A. van Ardenne-van der Hoeven and
N.Verhagen ot the minister of Foreign Affairs, February 1, 1999, The Hague,
the Netherlands

1) Is the Minister aware of the fact that the General Secretariat of
Interpol is from 23 to 26 February the 4th International Heroin Conference
in Yangon in Burma and that in close co-operation with the military
dictatorship in Burma? 
2) Does the Minister not find it absurd that Interpol organizes a
conference in a country that generally is seen as one of the worlds'
largest exportors of drugs and together with a military dictatorship of
whom it is know they keep themselves afloat with amongst others this
drug-dealing? 
3) Does the Minister not find that such a co-operation is damaging the good
name and faith of Interpol? 
4) Can the Minister make public who finances Interpol, which European
countries are involved in this and who keeps some political control on the
conduct of Interpol? 
5) Does the Minister know whether Europol is involved in this conference
and if yes how? 
6) Can the Minister notify who is politically responsible for Europols
taking part?
