The Dutch Accident Investigation Board (whatever the current incarnation is called) has one and only one goal: to protect the financial interests of the dutch aviation industry. Until 1998 this was known as the RLD-KLM-Schiphol triangle, whereby the RLD was corrupt to the bone. Everything remotely negative was kept hidden, to protect the growth of KLM and Schiphol.
Hell, I guess that if a dutch pilot takes off without clearance they will try to find a way to blame somebody else.... oh wait.
Also in that respect is the premature reaction of Martin Schroder not a surprise, how disturbing it may be.
