Why is an overhaul of the entry exam (oops, I'm forgetting it's known by some strange French name, that must surely be proof it's "outdated") good news for Dutch candidates? Has the Netherlands been promised a higher quota of EU employees? Did the previous concours discriminate unfairly against the Dutch? Perhaps it's a given that they have higher skills than the others, and that the very existence of an entry exam is an insult to them?

Never mind that, what matters is that the concours is a fuddyduddy example of useless Brussels red tape. Message received.
