THE HAGUE - Minister of Justice and Quincy Girigori today participated in the Judicial Four-Party Consultation on Sint Maarten.

This week, the justice ministers of the four countries in the Dutch Kingdom are discussing the strengthening of criminal investigation cooperation, the joint approach to cross-border crime and the strengthening of law enforcement in cooperation with the United States.

Financing is also on the agenda. The Netherlands wants to see that money is earmarked for it but the other parties have already indicated that there is no room for this in the budget.
