#1 these measures will require the modification of a number of European directives.

At a minimum. They can get as frustrated as they want, but their hands are tied. The EU is built on "the four freedoms": free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor (i.e., people). The point of "the European project" was to remove barriers to movement and "harmonize" national laws, which concentrated and centralized decision-making at the top. So to solve their immigration problems, really, they'd have to dismantle the EU borg altogether. Good luck with that.

#2 De Volkskrant also announces that migrants from Europe and also from Turkey and Morocco who apply for welfare benefits "will have to demonstrate a mastery of the Dutch language."

I like the part "Deport Unemployed Foreigners" better.
