For those who speak Dutch, here is the law which covers photography over Dutch territory:

It's even worse than I thought. It's even forbidden to take a photographic apparatus with you on board an aircraft, even if you don't intend to use it. But there is an exception for scheduled, international persons or goods transport.
It is clearly a Defense issue. If you want to get a license you've got to go to the Ministry of Defence. But getting such a license (issued for a four-week period if you're non-commercial) is free:

To put all this in context, this became law in 1959. Cold war and everything.
