"Pulled the plug" is a bit untrue. It's a recommendation of a commission, not a government decision yet...

Excactly, this is just a recomendation. Commitees recommend a lot more things which don't make it past the senate or have the administration abandonning it in our country. Personally I really dislike it if this would make it since it is going backwards instead of forwards. E-voting all the way if you ask me!

@Goofster,

Sorry, wrong link. The new link points to the correct story -- the public recommendation and decision were printed just hours apart.

Hmmmm, that translation is quite good, I'm suprised. Only it still doesn't understand words like "oud-minister" (former minister) and "handmatig" (by hand).
