POLITICSOct 1Statements by Van Weel about Bolle Jos cause annoyance in BrusselsOpmerkingen van minister Van Weel over het stopzetten van betalingen aan Sierra Leone leiden tot irritatie binnen de Europese Commissie. De minister zei vanmorgen dat de betalingen vanuit de Commissie zijn stopgezet omdat Sierra Leone niet meewerkt aan de uitlevering van drugscrimineel Bolle Jos. De NOS kreeg te horen dat binnen de Europese Commissie werd besloten hier "hard op terug te duwen". Uit gesprekken komt naar voren dat het besluit officieel een puur technische kwestie was, dat naar buiten niet gepresenteerd zou moeten worden als een sanctie tegen de machthebbers in Sierra Leone.
