Depending on allowances and how much you can claim back from the Dutch Tax office on mortgage relief, the salaries are probably far closer than you think.
Plus you havent got the hassle of the company trying to take great chunks of your salary every year

LVNL is recruiting experienced Air Traffic Controllers in the Netherlands.
The length of this (full time) training will depend on your previous experience and is mainly geared to further developing your personal skills.
You should not be older than 30 years

Also with taxbreaks (Normal Dutch income-tax for amounts above €55,000 is 52%), the net. takehome from Eurocontrol is far better. Even as a Dutch national without the expat allowance you are better of at Muac.
This however is not the first time they are taking on expats, there are quite a few here. Only thing is, you will have to learn Dutch.
Luckily the Dutch language really isn't that hard to master as most Dutch people would like you to believe.

Fair enough, Surferboy.
Problem is, every time you open your mouth, with a foreign accent, you get English straight back. Makes learning the language a real pain.
Fijne avond jonge

Welcome in Holland, where everyone wants you to know that they speak english "Reely goed" 
However on the workfloor after the first few months most of them will start talking dutch to you if you've mastered it good enough!
Ook een fijne avond!

Back in the 1960's there was a Welsh bloke in Schiphol Tower. His English was so hard to understand everybody asked him to speak Dutch.
Nominally 55 at Euro.
Something new?
What is retirement age for controllers in the Netherlands
the Mil would only coordinate in Dutch
They want experienced controllers, yet the language in the ad seems written to appeal to a school leaver. 
You like to take rapid decisions, but you’re definitely no gambler. You’re on top of things and act swiftly and confidently. You’re into aviation. Does this sound like you? Then maybe becoming an Air Traffic Controller at LVNL is your thing. Reach your peak and be all that you can be as an Air Traffic Controller.

Too bad about the age limit. At Brussels ACC or APP most new controllers are at least 30 before they finish OJT. All because (up till now) everyone went to a tower before becoming ACC or APP.
On the upside, almost everyone speaks dutch and has ADV, ADI, APS and ACS on their licence. (some even have APP and ACP)...

Nope, newjoiners have 58 as retirement age.
What about pay? Those numbers mentioned in the ad probably are before tax? Not that much for a newcomer than after all taxes
Taking all this and age limit,probably won't be many candidates.
