>>27 Sure
>For over 100 years there has been a treaty (or agreement/pact) between The Netherlands and Japan.
>In it, it says that all citizens of both countries can live and work in eachother's countries.
>The Netherlands forgot that for a second.
>The treaty was found during a conflict between the labour inspectorate and the Japanese cultural centrum Shofukan.
>They employed 3 Japanese carpenters, and the labour inspectorate said they needed a license/permission for that (for employing the Japanese).
>But apparently they didn't need one, which was reported in a newspaper named "Trouw".
>The trade treaty/agreement would be about the same as the one The Netherlands has with Switzerland.
>The old treaty was 'discovered' by lawyer Julien Luscuere. He doesn't expect that The Netherlands will be flooded with more Japanese people because of this discovered treaty.
>He says: "Maybe a few dozens of Japanese people would come to The Netherlands as well, but that would only bring positive effects for the mutual ties between the countries and the economy".
>>27 So apparently you are right and it does mean that both countries can stay and even work in eachother countries without permission.
Pretty interesting stuff, how did you find it?
By the way, PowNed is a bit of a right-wing website (and also has a late-night TV newsshow) that often uses jokes and makes fun of recent news items (and sometimes not),
but atleast this article is pretty serious (except the image on top I guess).
I would describe the site's comment section a bit like 2ch's.
