One day before the outgoing government is due to present a holding budget for 2011, more divisions have emerged between the three parties in talks on forming a new cabinet.

According to the Volkskrant, the right-wing Liberals VVD want to increase the state pension age from 65 to 67 but the Christian Democrats and anti-Islam PVV will only agree to an increase to 66.
The VVD also wants to make more spending cuts than the other parties, the paper says, basing its claims on sources close to the talks.
Hopes that the talks might now be completed this week have now been dashed, and a CDA congress to decide whether or not to back the agreement will now be held on October 2 at the earliest.
The three parties had earlier agreed to reduce spending by €18bn. The outgoing government will present a packaging of cuts totalling €3.2bn on Tuesday.
Pension
The CDA’s decision to go for a new pension age of 66 is based on an agreement to raise the retirement age by the unions and social partners, whose support will be necessary to get many of the next government’s changes through.
Geert Wilders PVV had campaigned against any increase at all, but Wilders said immediately after the June 9 election an increase was not out of the question.
Unions and employers reached an agreement on pensions earlier this year, in which they backed an increase to 66 by 2020 with the retirement age to be linked to life expectancy from then on.
Wilders is also demanding that the new government sets target figures for immigration but the CDA is opposed to this, the Volkskrant says.
