Legislation on Schiphol Closer, but Council of State Still Critical
The Dutch Council of State has no major objections to the government's plans for Schiphol Airport, but recommends adjustments for residents and the environment, according to its advice on 2026-09-14. While Minister Karremans and Schiphol welcome the advice, local residents and the North Holland Nature and Environment Federation remain concerned, citing health and noise issues. The Council urges clearer measures if noise limits are exceeded and better environmental justification. Karremans aims to implement new rules on 2026-11-01, but critics say key concerns remain unresolved.
