The new legalislation moves steadily ahead in The Netherlands, as the NABV announced having had an initial meeting with Dutch Customs about the implementation of the new rules that went active on the 15th of january.

The NABV and Customs point out that these are merely the initial talks and import as of now is still illigal without NABV membership, which remains closed for the moment as the foundation moves to put all the assests and required administration in place.

Another milestone in the efforts of the NABV was reached as the Justice Department submitted an official declaration about the reckognition of the NABV as the country's first official Airsoft Foundation. (Dutch: vereniging). This is a requirement as only members of a reckognised foundation will get the exceptions from the law regarding airsoft devices.

On the day that Dutch airsoft legislation becomes active, the NABV posts part 3 in their explanation of the rules, this being the first one after the new rules where published in a more formal (and therefor perhaps somewhat confusing) language used by the Dutch government. The NABV also warns that it is not legal to have Airsoft Replica's as of today, since memberships cannot be acquired yet. (with the exception of those who have a special exception by the ministry of Justice)

If the noise on the nlairsoft.com forums where any indication: people where scrambling to try and interpret the new rules as set for in the new weapons and ammunition laws. (WWM).
