The state-run job centre organisation UWV is almost out of money to spend on projects to get the unemployed back into work, the Volkskrant reports on Thursday.

The UWV had a budget of €126m this year, unchanged from 2009. ‘Last year there was enough money because the economic crisis had just broken out,’ a spokesman told the paper. ‘But the projects started last year are pressuring this year’s budget.’
Over 320,000 people are now claiming unemployment benefit in the Netherlands.
The UWV is cutting back on its contracts with external reintegration bureaus in order to balance its books, the paper says.
MPs have called for an explanation from social affairs minister Piet Hein Donner.
