Eighteen months awaiting debate Rutte

Possibly the debate Rutte is equal to the last estimates D66 MP Sjoerd Sjoerdsma. ,, Now it is about geopolitics, persecution, flight routes, emergency organizations. In the future, the more specialized, disaggregated debates. ''

Will there be clarity? The omens are not too favorable: many of the written parliamentary questions was no clear answer. Sometimes because the criminal investigation; sometimes because it legally can not. That suggested at least the Dutch Safety Board (OVV) last week, everything which is not in the investigation, should not make it public.

MPs gnashing teeth. Pieter Omtzigt (CDA): ,, It refers to legal confidentiality; that means we can not know what information had the OVV. That makes it quite difficult for us to check. ''

sharply
The reluctance of the government and the Research Council can provide a sharp debate. ,, Warring parties in eastern Ukraine did not always important to share all information. This applies to Ukraine, Russia, but also for the Netherlands. All countries have not determined faithfully cooperated with the Research Council '' will Omtzigt.

That report by the Research Council published in October, now there is a growing list of questions about the work of the council. Remarkable response last week: ,, The Safety Board has no radar data obtained from the United States. ''

This while the Americans shortly after the crash claimed to have seen everything. ,, We saw disappear the unit from radar screens, '' said Foreign Minister Kerry.

rebels
In recent weeks radar data're the talk of the day: it was the Ukrainian radar 'regular maintenance or destroyed by rebels?

The Research Council and Ukrainian Ambassador contradictory. The prescribed logs of the computer system of the air traffic controllers of both Russia and Ukraine are missing.Ukrainian and Russian air traffic controllers on duty are not questioned. However, the council said it had "all information" to analyze flight MH17.

The debate is not about the criminal investigation; that leaves still months away, notifies the Public Prosecution good progress.

blame
And afterwards? Recently revealed yet which air disasters decades later lead to discussion.Secretary Sharon Dijksma asked the Research Council to re-look at the research on the Faro disaster in 1992. That request is more than 23 years after the disaster. Survivors of Faro making OVV plenty of blame.

After the Bijlmer disaster in '92 criticism. there was so much doubt that six years later held a parliamentary inquiry. The conclusion was that the House 'too often' was incorrectly informed and incomplete. Parts of the Council's research for Aeronautics - the predecessor of the Research Council - were "incomplete and superficial." These were additional factors, such as regular inspections on the engine mounts by El Al.

Also in the MH17 disaster seem additional factors, such as why Ukraine held open airspace, not exhaustively considered by the Council. The MH17 disaster is 'only' 1.5 years ago.
