The Netherlands hardly succeeds in persuading recalcitrant countries to take back asylum seekers who have exhausted all legal remedies in the Netherlands. When the chips are down, other interests, for example economic ones (such as the exports to these countries and the multi-million euro contracts of Dutch industry) outweigh the importance of forced returns of asylum seekers whose applications have been rejected. Partly for this reason, they can stay in the Netherlands without extradition being imminent. This is what the Advisory Commission on Aliens Affairs concludes in its latest report.
