HürriyetimTurks first among foreign investments in new businesses in the Netherlands

Turks have conquered Holland in the business sector and are now a major corporate tax contributor to the Dutch economy. According to the records released by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, among foreigners who opened new businesses, Turks took first place w/ 1700 new businesses in 2004. Poles followed Turks w/ 1200 businesses. Businesses opened by Turks were mainly wholesale, services, hotels, restaurants, cafes, transportation and construction. Note by EU-Digest: Hopefully this will show the Netherlands population that the populist right-wing rhetoric against Turkey's accession into the EU is a complete farce.Our aging Northern European population needs an infusion of young entrepreneurial immigrants to bring fresh ideas and economic prosperity back into the EU.
