Dutch to English: 'Teveel geld naar ontwikkelingshulp' - Vertaling van de Telegraaf
Source text - Dutch Bijna 60 procent van de Nederlanders vindt dat ons land te veel geld uitgeeft aan ontwikkelingshulp.
Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van onzeWereld, het maandblad over ontwikkeling en Derde Wereld.
Nederland geeft jaarlijks 0,7 procent van het bruto binnenlands product aan ontwikkelingshulp, nu ongeveer vier miljard euro.
Volgens het onderzoek ergert driekwart van de Nederlandse bevolking zich verder aan het wervingsbeleid van hulporganisaties. De Nederlanders zijn telefoontjes, aanklampen op straat en persoonlijke mailings meer dan zat, aldus de onderzoekers.
Translation - English Almost sixty percent of Dutch people think that our country gives too much money towards development work.
That's according to research by onzeWereld, the monthly journal on development and the Third World.
The Netherlands gives 0.7 percent of its Gross National Product to development work, now approximately four billion euro.
According to the study three quarters of the Dutch population are annoyed by the recruitment policies of charity organisations. The Dutch are fed up with receiving phone calls, being grabbed on the street and getting personal mails, the researchers found.
