European competition commissioner Neelie Kroes has no plans to return to Dutch politics when her period in office in Brussels is over, the Telegraaf reports on Tuesday.

A former transport minister for the right-wing Liberals VVD, Kroes told a tv show on Monday night she would not get involved in national politics again, even if her party urged her to do so.
Kroes is keen to win a second term as competition commissioner. However, sources in The Hague say this is unlikely because the ruling Christian Democrats want to name their own candidate for a commission job.
