The Netherlands and Europeanization: Reading Analysis 6 (Reflections on EU Politics from Inside the European Parliament)

The EU should be more involved in the ruling of the OCTs rather than the relevant member states, because the EU should uphold the equality in the fair ruling of the OCTs. The EU should promote the welfare of the citizens of the OCTs in line with the EU constitution. The EU should not allow the member states to run the OCTs as they please, but with fairness according to the EU constitution.

The EU should maintain an involvement in the ruling and administrative handling of the OCTs environmental regulation. It is very tempting for a member state to exploit the natural resources and destroy the environment of an OCT. The polluting companies of the metropole can be given tax holidays if they allocate to the OCT. The EU should step in to this situation and offer to advice on how to protect the natural environment of the OCT. The OCTs should be allowed to have the same access to fair justice as any other EU member state in Europe. The dependencies are not the customary extractor of the member states, but the dependencies are members of the wider EU where they have the rights and obligations like other EU communities. The EU must ensure that the rights of the citizens of the OCTs are in standard with the rest of the EU and the basic rights are inviolable. The member states cannot inflict policies based on unfair advantage. The governance of the OCTs would be fair and in par with the rest of the EU. The dependencies must have the right to live according to the living standard set by the EU constitution, as well as maintain the right to travel and conduct business like any other EU member. The rights of the dependencies would not hamper by placing the jurisdiction of law, justice, and equality at the policies of the member states only.

The EU is needed to protect the rights of the vulnerable community members from draconian laws of the metropole. For example, if the Netherlands decide to impose harsh measures against abortion in the island of Aruba, then the EU should step forward and take action against the member state for imposing such brutal laws. The EU needs to step in to protect the rights of the citizens who would be affected by the laws that would be endangering their lives. The EU has a duty to uphold the basic rights for all citizens. In this instance, the citizens of Aruba would have the support of a constitution that would uphold their rights. The EU guarantees such rights and would step up to protect the rights of citizens who would fall under the EU jurisdiction. The EU would stand up for citizens who lacked a voice previously. The EUs action here is necessary to promote better reproductive health and medical services. The dependencies would have the right to defend their stance against any draconian laws by being under EU jurisdiction. The EU would protect the rights of vulnerable communities.

The EU is a the place where the rights of citizens and the environment are upheld. If there is any EU member state that does not obey the rules of fairness and equality, then the EU can step in and override the local legislatures. The EU can uphold the rights of the OCTs by making the member states accountable for their laws. The EU have the judicial independence and the power to step in for OCTs that are vulnerable to member states policies. The EU must protect the rights of all the communities within its jurisdiction. The EU must have the authority to protect the environment of the OCTs from exploitative policies of the metropole. For example, if the Netherlands decide to mine the seabed of Aruba, then the EU must have the justification to impose penalties on the Netherlands. The EU must overcome the national sovereignty to challenge any member states that does not abide by the EUs universal rights. The EU has taken actions against the Hungarian PM Victor Orban for passing anti-LGBTQ legislations. The EU has been able to maintain their judicial independence and can implement actions against other member states if the need arises. The EU universal human rights must be upheld by the EU constitution
