lpv:translated text	"Question No 3 by Alexandros Alavanos (): Themistocles Koltsidopoulos, a Greek national studying at the University of Piraeus, was travelling to Scotland on a KLM flight via Amsterdam. While waiting to change aircraft at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, where he was in transit, he was unlawfully detained by the Dutch police authorities, owing to his dark skin, on a trumped up charge of forging a passport and driving licence, together with another Greek passenger – also of dark complexion – although they had numerous personal documents proving the charge to be groundless. During his unlawful detention, he was refused permission to communicate with the Greek authorities and was not allowed to contact his family to inform them that he was being held in custody. Furthermore, while being held in custody for over ten hours, he paid for his food and was returned to Greece at his own expense. Finally, the police refused to hand back his personal documents (driving licence, Greek passport, student identity card, etc.), which they had confiscated. In the light of Article 18 of the Treaty and the frequent recurrence of such incidents at Amsterdam airport between the Dutch police authorities and Greek nationals, as reported to the Greek passport authorities, will the Council say what measures it will take to prevent the Dutch police from abusing their 'rights' to the detriment of European citizens? What practical options are open to Mr Koltsidopoulos to mount a defence and claim compensation for the stress and any financial damage he has suffered?"@en1
