MPs, not members of motoring organisation ANWB will decide whether or not the kilometer tax on motoring should be introduced, transport minister Camiel Eurlings told MPs on Tuesday.

The minister was responding to widespread criticism of his earlier pledge that the tax would not be introduced without ANWB support.
Eurlings told MPs he was ‘open to’ the results of the ANWB members’ poll and would take their suggestions for improvements seriously.
But he said he took the support of environmental and transport organisations who back the plan very seriously as well.
Amsterdam
Meanwhile, Nos tv reports that Amsterdam city council is to begin an experiment with a kilometer tax in February and is currently looking for 1,000 motorists to take part in the trial.
The city council is a strong supporter of the tax, saying it will reduce traffic congestion in and around the city.
If the national legislation is eventually passed by parliament, motorists will start paying tax on every kilometer they drive, which the government hopes will reduce traffic jams and pollution. The tax will be higher during the rush hour and for more polluting vehicles.
To make sure motorists are not worse off, road tax will be scrapped and the purchase tax on new cars will be reduced. Some 60% of drivers will be better off, the government claims.
Each car on the roads will be fitted with a GPS device which will use satellites to monitor where and when the car is driven and send the information to a central billing point.
