The Dutch contribution will amount to some €4.7bn over three years, Nos tv said.
Despite initial opposition, Christian Democrat and VVD MPs voted in favour of the plan because it is a ‘necessary evil’, Nos said.
‘The stability of the euro must be guaranteed to make sure the Greek disease does not spread,’ said VVD MP Frank Weekers during the debate.
Geert Wilders’ PVV and Rita Verdonk voted against.
