Disagreement on counting asylum seekers in Ter Apel; Asylum agency fined €982,500 so far
NL Times -

There is a disagreement between the municipality of Westerwolde and the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) on whether the Ter Apel registration center exceeded its 2,000-person limit for several days in March. To avoid a “legal splitting of hairs,” the COA agreed to pay half of the penalty. The agency has paid 982,500 euros so far, NU.nl reports.
