Dutch 2009 fireworks already a problem
The Netherlands is gearing itself up for New Year's Eve, which people traditionally mark with firework displays. Last year, the Dutch spent between 60 and 65 million euros on fireworks. Despite the economic malaise, they are expected to top that amount this week.Fireworks can only be used between 10 a.m. on New Year's Eve and 2 a.m. on New Year's Day, but the police had already received over 200 complaints about the use of firecrackers and the like on Monday. In the city of Utrecht, more than 50 people have already been charged for incidents involving fireworks.
