Brussels wants farm money back from the Netherlands
Brussels has asked the Netherlands to repay €14.6m in farm subsidies because the money was wrongly spent.
In total, the European Commission has asked member states to repay an extra €54.3m handed out between 2006 and 2009.
The Dutch repayment, the third largest, comes because the government did not properly track the spending, the Commission said in a statement.
