Netherlands: Asylum policy to become 'more restrictive'

Via AFP:
The Netherlands' asylum policy will become "more selective and more restrictive", the leader of the centre-right government that rules with the backing of a far-right party said Friday.

The country which long cultivated an image of multi-cultural tolerance, now wants to "address the criminality of foreigners, harmonise and simplify the asylum criteria and fight against illegality," an interior ministry statement said.
