EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The Netherlands wants to impose the toughest-ever safeguards in possible EU accession negotiations with the western Balkans states, while vowing to keep states like Ukraine and Moldova out of the union.

The Dutch parliament is set to hold a debate on Tuesday (11 April) on EU enlargement amid increasing uneasiness in the Netherlands about further expansion of the bloc.

The Hague, unlike Paris, has not publicly blamed enlargement for the 'no' vote to the EU constitution in its referendum last year.
