The media spokesman for the Christian Democrats says a majority in
parliament would be opposed to any further cutbacks at Radio Netherlands. He
was responding to a leaked report from the McKinsey consultancy firm, which
says many of the Dutch World Service's operations can be discontinued.

Certain sections of the report were disclosed last night on a current
affairs programme on one of the Netherlands' public television networks.

Referring to the fact that the report actually focuses on the entire public
broadcasting system, and that it recommends cutbacks across the board, the
management of Radio Netherlands accused the television programme of
highlighting just one aspect, and doing so in biased and one-sided manner.
